The Stray & Feral Rescue Project (SFRP) is NOT a shelter but an aggressive TNR (trap, neuter, return/rehome) effort run by local volunteers. Supported by local animal rescue and welfare groups, Pet Pals Northeast, Inc, veterinarians, local animal control and shelters. The SFRP was created in 2003 to lower the over population of street cats (stray/feral (wild) cats) by decreasing their numbers huma
nely with the only proven solution used successfully worldwide - TNR. In 2003 there was a major need for a TNR program in our area, after much research and educating ourselves The SFRP was modeled after successful TNR efforts nationally and worldwide. In cooperation with volunteers/residents we work endlessly to stop the unnecessary misery and suffering of abandoned, lost, and stray/feral domestic cats. We work with and educate local residents implementing TNR projects within their neighborhoods and throughout New London County. In addition to our TNR efforts, volunteers provide: basic care and supplies (food, water, vaccinations, shelter, etc.) on a daily basis to several large cat colonies and residents and affordable spay/neuter services to low income individuals. Provide educational workshops on "Starting A TNR Project in Your Neighborhood". The SFRP is a TNR effort of an all volunteer community effort that receives no funding from the town, state or government and is solely supported by the local community and businesses we serve. Because SFRP is an all volunteer effort , 100% of donations go directly to decreasing the street cat population here in New London County. We hold various fund raisers throughout the year to support our TNR (spay/neuter) efforts and the animals we rescue.
