CARE Feline Rescue, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to reducing the population of feral and abandoned cats in Orange County Florida through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). We work in conjunction with Orange County Animal Services to offer free spay/neuter and vaccines for feral and abandoned cats in Orange County.
CARE is operated entirely by volunteers. We fund our efforts with donations we receive from the public.
Caretakers maintain feral colonies throughout Orange County. They provide food and medical attention to the feral cats that live in these colonies. However, maintenance alone is not enough. That is why our caretakers work diligently to TNR each and every cat in a colony. This process requires a long-term commitment to the cats
Our program:
- Is a TNR program. It
- IS for ORANGE COUNTY cats only
- IS for people who want to help make a difference
- IS 100% volunteer and requires you to take part in the process.
- IS funded by donations. There is no set charge for any of the services provided, but we do have expenses and depend on your donations to continue to fund and expand the program.
- Provides the following FREE services for feral or abandoned cats including:
- SPAY or NEUTER
- RABIES VACCINATION & TAG
- FVRCP - annual shot for distemper and upper respiratory diseases
- Uses standard TNR “ear tipping” for easy identification of cats that have been through the program
- Utilizes random testing for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline AIDS (FIV). If the test is positive, the cat will be euthanized.
- Loans traps to caretakers, as necessary, to catch feral cats
