i live in a small rural community in central South Carolina. It has been brought to my attention that there is a woman in our community who just lost her mother and, to make matters worse, she has discovered there are 38 unfixed cats on her mother’s property that her mother had been carrying for. 4 of them are currently pregnant.
We live in Lexington County and our county shelter doesn’t accept cats and they referred her to a “low cost” clinic/ no-kill organization in the neighboring county (Pawmetto Lifeline). This organization said they would accept a few of the cat’s and spay/neuter them all for $1,500. This is far more than she could possibly afford.
She has 10 dogs herself so she is in a desperate situation to say the least. Being an animal lover, she can’t just abandon all these cats but she just doesn’t have the resources to care for them either.
I do not know her personally but a young lady (that is aware that I foster kittens for the neighboring county’s shelter) asked if I knew of any program or organization that could assist. The neighboring county shelter will not accept any animals outside of their county so they cannot help.
Really this is more of a colony situation than personal pets but even from that angle, I don’t know of any TNR programs in our county. If we do have one, I would actually love to start doing TNRs once or twice a month myself.
