Every year, thousands of cats are still being euthanized due to cat overpopulation. With 80% of kittens being born outside, the real answer lies in preventing the birth of more kittens. That is why Ashley’s Kitten Academy is dedicated to helping prevent litters from being born by supporting those involved in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and fixing our free-roaming community cats.

With this grant, we hope to help people continue their work of helping community cats get spayed, neutered and vaccinated. Giving them a chance at a happier, healthier life and preventing future litters from being born.

Please Note:
