Our current focus is to help the effectiveness of individuals and small rescue groups. One of the large obstacles to any rescue group is getting non-feral cats adopted so that they can bring in more. If you are at capacity, cats need to be adopted so that you can assist more.

 

Those working individually don't normally have the advantage of the resources that shelters and larger organizations have to get the word out about their available cats. Websites, dedicated email addresses, listings on adoption sites that exclude individuals, etc. Cincinnati Cats is offering to help this situation by providing website hosting and management, adoption listings on major listing sites, etc.

 

We admire and appreciate those who pick up a stray cat or kitten when they see one, but our services are offered to those people who do more. If you are seeking to help the outdoor cat population in your neighborhood, feeding ferals, trapping and neutering, taking in friendly strays and placing them for adoption, we would like to help you.

 

What we expect from our associated rescuers is minimal. We don't plan any big fund raising events to attend or work at. There will not be any donation goals you have to meet. There will be some necessary documentation to qualify as an associated rescue person or group and records will need to be forwared of the cats you are helping. It will be up to you if you want to assist others in their efforts or strictly keep your work close to home.

 

We encourage those working  independently to take advantage of the resources offered by many of the larger organizations in the Cincinnati area. We are blessed with a good number of groups willing to help you in your efforts.UCAN, OAR, and others have spay/neuter clinics offering discounted rates. SCOOP, The Scratching Post and others offer vouchers to cover a good portion of the cost of a spay or neuter. Please see our links page for these and more (coming soon). These groups all work very hard to raise the funds and manage these programs. Please also support them in their efforts.
