Changing the world for homeless cats... " FOUR PAWS AT A TIME"
A crisis of pet overpopulation exists, and the homeless cat problem is one ONLY humans can resolve. CNYCC is an all volunteer community-based organization dedicated to reducing the homeless cat population through non-lethal means and finding safe loving homes for as many cats as possible throughout CNY.
CNYCC does not have a shelter, an office or a paid staff. We rely entirely on volunteers for everything.
Our objective is to promote the spay and neuter of pets and neighborhood strays, to help stabilize the population. Our approach is the most humane solution to the cat over population problem, while still providing the best possible care for the cats, no new litters of unwanted kittens are born.
Your actions can make a difference!
CNYCC offers
Fees - Female $70.00 and Male $50.00 includes surgical procedure plus vaccination for rabies and distemper.
Minimal fees may apply for additional treatments if necessary :
Fleas $1.00 - Ear mites $3.00 - Females that are in heat $10.00.
- PetSmart and North Shore Animal League are sometimes available as adoption options. (See info links) Space is limited, so don't wait, make every effort to find safe permanent homes for the animals in your care.
Prevent a Litter - Fix that Critter
Every decision to spay or neuter your pet or a neighborhood stray is a good one. It's a one-time cost—and we offer it at a low cost. The fee you pay for your pet is a bargain compared to the cost of raising a litter with significant food, litter and veterinary costs. Finding homes for them is not easy and in a just a few short months - the kittens reach breeding age and Mom could be having another litter.
It's a very small price to pay for the prevention of the birth of more unwanted pets.
The success of our program depends entirely on the participation of pet owners, and the support of the community.
Benefits of Spay/Neuter.
Use the CNY SNAP and SOS links to the left of this page to learn about the clinics
Message Center at 420-SPAY (7729)
Please keep in mind that we have no paid staff, and receive numerous calls daily. A volunteer will call when available to schedule a clinic date but it could take a week or more.
Some of the fosters we have looking for fur-ever homes can be seen in the adoption centers located in the PetSmart Stores or visit the adoption inks located to the left of this page to see photos of others in home foster care.
The most important thing you can do to prevent Animal Cruelty and help reduce overpopulation is NEVER EVER offer kitties for FREE
Adopting is a big decision.
Pet ownership is very rewarding, and a long term commitment. When you are ready to make it - Please adopt from a "no-kill" rescue group - animals that have been rescued KNOW they’ve been saved, and really show their gratitude.
Please Help
OF COURSE the CNY Cat Coalition Needs YOU!
Do you really love cats and want a more hands on form of volunteering?
Do you have room in your heart and your home? No time to spare - you can still help
Are you creative and fun loving? CNYCC welcomes and encourages new volunteers, and there's lots to be done! Volunteer to help with one of our fundraisers or programs, there is no shortage on the number of cats that need our help.
We are always in need of volunteers to foster cats and kittens and would really welcome your assistance. We receive many calls from people who happen on homeless mom cats with litters of kittens but are unable to provide a safe environment. Momma and these kittens need the love, attention and peace of a foster guardian's home where they can thrive and learn to enjoy human companionship.
CNYCC does not receive any city, county or state government financial support. We rely on the kindness of individuals to foster, and on the adoption fees collected to cover spay and neuter, vaccination and testing costs for all cats in our care.
CNYCC is a 501(c)3 tax exempt, non-profit organization.
