Feral Cats:

The Society has launched a number of modest initiatives to help alleviate the plight of feral cats. Were the

necessary financial resources made available, the BC SPCA would gladly increase the number and scope

of programs in this area. As this is an area of concern to other organizations besides the SPCA, there may

be possibilities to establish coalitions with other animal welfare organizations, municipalities and other

interested parties to collectively tackle this issue. Given the scarcity of available resources, it is perhaps best

if the Society participates as an active member of such a coalition, rather than as the steering force of the

coalition.

Directive # 43: The Vancouver Hospital should work to increase the number of feral cat spay/neuter

days. Such events are not only beneficial from an animal welfare perspective but build confidence

and cooperation amongst organizations working in this area.

Directive # 44: Together with other rescue groups, the Society through its branches should explore

options to establish a feral cat coalition consisting of animal welfare organizations, municipalities

and concerned citizens. Approach granting agencies to determine their interest in funding such an

initiative.
