TNR Program
(For Stray & Feral Cats)

A Huge Success In Farmingdale

Joseph F. Rachiele, former Deputy Mayor of The Incorporated Village of Farmingdale is pleased to announce The Long Island Cat Project, Trap, Neuter, Return Program (TNR) for cats, a huge success.  In the last three months, 54 adult cats have been neutered or spayed.

The objective of this program is to reduce the number of feral and stray cats through trapping, neutering/spaying and returning the cats where captured.   In addition to the neutering and spaying, cats are de-wormed, receive vaccinations for Rabies and Distemper and ear tipped, the universal symbol identifying the cats as having been neutered.  Cats that are candidates for adoption will be entrusted to adoption organizations.  Over 50 kittens have already been rescued and put up for adoption.  This program is available throughout the entire Farmingdale area.

The Suffolk SPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter van, and the Nassau SPCA van will be offering low cost and/or free TNR services.

The Farmingdale TNR Program is entirely funded by donations, which purchase the needed supplies and veterinary services.   Please make your tax deductible donation to People and Animals Team up Successfully 'PATS', who has agreed to offer low cost veterinary care for the feral cats in Farmingdale, so that we are able to spay and neuter as many cats as possible in an effort to resolve this widespread problem.
