ALLIED CATS OF COLUMBUS is dedicated to the welfare of Feral Cats and Kittens. Columbus Georgia and the surrounding areas have a terrible overpopulation of "unwanted" cats. Countless thousands of cats wander our streets, alleys, parks and woods. Some are "stray" pets that have been lost through carelessness or thrown out to fend for themselves; but most are "feral"; wild cats which have had little contact with humanity. They survive by scavenging, hunting, or handouts.
ALLIED CATS tries to identify "colonies" of such cats which have a stable food source and preferably a "caretaker" who supplies food and water and attempts to safeguard the colony. However, feeding alone only encourages reproduction and the number of cats increases. We assist caretakers in trapping these cats for spaying or neutering and vaccination, after which the cats are returned to the colony. This method of population control is known as TNR or Trap-Neuter-Return.
The traditional methods of cat population ccontrol have not been effective. Adoption programs run by shelters are ineffective because "unowned" cats are often not accepted in these programs; even if they were, the adoption rate of which shelters are capable is simply too low. When hopeful citizens call the shelters they are freqently told "we are full." Lethal injection, the tool of Animal Control is ineffective because, as observations have confirmed when cats are removed from a habitat and killed it just provides an opportunity for more cats to move in and start reproducing again.
ALLIED CATS OF COLUMBUS, INC is a Georgia non-profit corporation and has federal charitable tax-exempt (501-c-3) status. We provide services in West Central Georgia and adjacent East Alabama as our resources permit.
Any contribution will be greatly appreciated.
