Community Cats Program

OK Humane is partnering with the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Division to provide local communities with a cost-effective, humane solution for outdoor cats!

What is a community cat?

Any free-roaming cat that is feral (wild) or a stray. They live in alleyways, parking lots, vacant lots, backyards and lots of other places. Most community cats are euthanized when they are taken to the OKC Animal Shelter. Now they will instead be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped and returned to the area they came from.

What are the program’s benefits?

• It costs taxpayers less to fix and return thousands of cats rather than kill them
• Annoying behaviors like yowling, fighting and marking territory will stop or decrease dramatically
• The population will be controlled with no new litters of kittens
• The cats are vaccinated against diseases
