Homeless Cats                

A crisis of pet overpopulation exists, and the homeless cat problem can ONLY be resolved by humans.

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 and the success of our mission depends entirely on the participation and support of the community.

Our objective is to promote the spay and neuter of pets, neighborhood strays and feral cats, 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!
Spay that neighborhood Stray! Our programs are available to Help You-Help the Cats in your Area!

 
Prevent a Litter - Fix that Critter 

Spay or neuter your pet to prevent of the birth of more unwanted pets.

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 :

    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 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.

  •   Adoption
  • Tell all your friends, family and co-workers tuhat 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 poster
  • Altered 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 that have been rescued KNOW they’ve been saved, and really show their gratitude.
