PLEASE HELP WITH OUR FERAL CAT PROGRAM 

The Placencia Humane Society is in process of importing 15 live traps.  With these traps PHS has a unique opportunity to implement an aggressive program to reduce the overpopulation of cats in Placencia and the surrounding villages.  Our intent is to pick strategic locations and with community involvement set the traps 2 days a month. All cats trapped would be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and have their ear cropped as identification.    We expect delivery of these traps within the next 4 weeks and hope to have our first cat clinic in either June or July. 

In order for this program to work PHS will need community involvement.  Anyone who is interested in assisting PHS in setting traps and releasing the cats after surgery and recovery please contact Pamela Keck at 520-4057, or Pat Rarrick at 610-0522.  

All cat clinics will be advertised on the radio, BTIA and notices will be put up around the village.  Please watch for this notification.  If you do not want your cat to be cut and have their ear cropped you will need to keep your cat inside when the traps are set. 

PHS is very excited about this new program.  We have been working since last July to get these traps in and are pleased to see it finally happen. 

PHS will be purchasing all the medications for the program as well as paying a vet fee and some transportation costs.  Financially PHS is solely supported by the accessory sales at the clinic, memberships and donations. All the money that is collected at clinic for veterinary services is paid directly to the veterinarian.  PHS does not keep any of this money.     With the additional monies needed for the cat program your donations and/or memberships are greatly needed and greatly appreciated.  If your membership has expired or is close to expiring please consider renewing.  For memberships please contact Mary Ann at 523-3651, 670-3491 or maryann.inbz@yahoo.com
