Do you need the CNY Cat Coalition?
CNYCC is not a shelter, we foster cats in our own homes. We do not have enough volunteer foster sites or the resources to take in every stray cat or her litter. Our objective is to promote the spay and neuter of pets and neighborhood strays, to help stabilize the population through our trap spay/neuter and vaccinate program. 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!
We encourage people feeding neighborhood strays to contact CNYCC. All of our programs are in operation to Help You-Help the Cats in your Area! We will help you Spay that neighborhood Stray!
CNYCC offers
Low cost assistance with altering and vaccination of your pet cat performed by licensed veterinarians 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.
Assistance altering a stray, or an entire litter at low or no-cost.
Access to low-cost nutritious dry cat food.
Direction and support in placing kittens and cats for adoption.
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. Alley Cat Allies Shelter Instructions
and/or assistance constructing a shelter for feral cats, or strays that must remain out doors. Prevent a Litter - Fix that Critter Every decision to spay or neuter your pet or 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 months - the kittens reach breeding age and Mom is 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, concerned citizens, our volunteers and the support of the public.

Spay/Neuter Read about the Benefits of Spay/Neuter. Clinic space is limited, and volunteers transport the cats to and from the clinics, so spay/neuter is available by appointment only. Use the CNY SNAP and SOS links to the left of this page to learn about the clinics
Call the SPAY/NEUTER Message Center at 420-SPAY (7729)
Leave you name, telephone number, best time to reach you and identify whether you have a male, female or multiple cats.
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 cats and kittens we have looking for fur-ever homes can be seen in the adoption centers located in the PetSmart Stores. Many more are available from foster care in private homes. Please visit the our kitties links located to the left of this page to see photos of just a few.

Adoption Tell all your friends, family and co-workers that you have kitties available for adoption. Take photos, make posters and distribute them anywhere possible. Use the Best Friends Adoption Poster link to the left of this page to make a printable posterAltered and vaccinated kitties are much easier to find permanent homes for. Responsible pet owners willing pay an adoption fee equal to the clinic expense you incurred, you've saved them the time and trouble. Use this AdoptionApplication as a guild and always always always check references.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 cats been rescued KNOW they’ve been saved, and really show their gratitude.
