COURT HOUSE — Friends of Felines, a new volunteer group in the upper part of Cape May County, is seeking members across the county that want to help cats and stop the overpopulation problem here in Cape May County. They are seeking people that have a love for animals and want to make a difference by helping to volunteer with TNVR in all areas of the county.
All unaltered cats contribute to the pool of un-adopted kittens and cats euthanized in shelters every day. Tame cats are the original source of all free-roaming cats. The cats haven’t chosen their owners nor their social skills. For the group’s purposes, whether a cat is tame, feral-behaving, shy, friendly, semi-feral, stray or something else, just doesn’t matter. The group’s goal is to spay/neuter every one of them, because it changes their lives forever.
A scientific study revealed that about 85% of pet cats are altered while only 2% of free-roaming cats are altered. Population projections estimate 33 million kittens/ year come from pet cats and 147 million come from free-roaming cats. Every time a litter is born, it lowers the odds that others will be adopted. Competition for homes increases. What happens to the kittens that aren’t adopted? But with spay/neuter, fewer kittens are born, competition for homes is reduced and lives are saved through prevention.
If you would like to join this group and help solve the problem, please call 609 402-8325 or email linda@ShoreAnimalControl.com
