Arden's Arc is an all breed animal rescue run by volunteers. We are dedicated to saving dogs with special needs and reducing the feral cat population.
Lately, Arden's Arc has been focused on helping outdoor cats. We participate in the Trap-Neuter-Return program, a humane way to reduce the stray cat population.
TNR means we catch the homeless cats from the streets, alleys, commercial/industrial locations, and anywhere else we find them. They are examined and treated by a veterinarian, tested for contagious diseases, neutered/spayed, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, dewormed, and given flea/tick preventative. After they recuperate from surgery, if we are not able to socialize them, we return them to their outdoor environment.
Cats who are friendly to humans (cats who once had an indoor home and have lost their way or were abandoned) or are young enough to be socialized, will be placed in a home rather than returned to the street.
This is a proven, humane way to control the stray cat population. It benefits the cats as well as the community. Please consider volunteering, fostering a homeless animal, or donating to the rescue.
