Heather Knight The privately run San Francisco SPCA and the public Animal Care and Control SF, which is part of city government, have long called in volunteer trappers to respond to a feral cat giving birth in someone’s backyard or elsewhere within the city. Once trapped, the mom and babies would be kept together in a feral cat nursery at the SPCA until the kittens were weaned and put up for adoption. The mom cat would be spayed and released. What changed? Why was the program shut down? Are the new staff managing the program not equipped to handle the needs of the feral moms? SF SPCA declined to comment on this article. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1563303180699-1PMUKD3V2Z7GZKF176RB/Two-good-animal-organizations-are-losin.jpg Home - Two good animal organizations are losing community support over feral cat policy changes At a recent meeting of the San Francisco Commission of Animal Control and Welfare, it was clear that a controversial change in how the San Francisco SPCA and the City’s municipal shelter, Animal Care and Control, handle feral cats is eroding support for both organizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1559516070791-LNLYZPNOJFB08RD2GX4E/Alley+Cat+Allies Home - what changed? This article featured on Alley Cat Allies in November 2017 shared the innovative and successful program that has abruptly ended at SF SPCA. Why roll back this progressive and successful program? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1573852228264-PVOEPCS8RD3LJR0AQURY/SFExaminer-2019-11-14.jpg Home - Leaving San Francisco’s feral cats and their kittens to the raccoons and coyotes is not the solution Reverse the mom cat and kitten policy at SF Animal Care and Control (SFACC) and SF SPCA. Restore protections for some of San Francisco’s most vulnerable animals: homeless kittens. They are not wildlife and need our assistance. A September opinion article written by SF SPCA’s President Jennifer Scarlett, UC Davis’ Dr. Kate Hurley, and Alley Cat Allies’ Becky Robinson appeared in the Examiner claiming that it’s “inhumane and misguided” to bring feral cats and their newborn kittens into an animal shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1559513794412-3M3OJ68DCD2Z8BAIQI6S/IMG_7903.jpg Home - More feral cats could die in San Francisco following policy change “For over 20 years, the San Francisco SPCA and the City’s municipal shelter, Animal Care and Control, pioneered groundbreaking programs to manage feral cats. But a recent change has advocates worried that kittens will die in the wild instead of being saved and adopted into loving homes.” Sally Stephens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1562044040168-61AN4WQWM31HFQO809AP/IMG_8153.jpg Home https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/contact daily 0.75 2019-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1559507751900-M9U028TJUYIFJ0L7QQ0G/60953730_411671506229988_1909718622180212736_n.jpg Contact https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/pressrelease daily 0.75 2019-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560055543595-6LEK7AB5RSF4CT06ZKAI/62120386_2097724260353602_84608416189775872_n.jpg Press Release https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/responses daily 0.75 2019-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1559883803358-G57Q22B4HY56TYKKPRY5/60953730_411671506229988_1909718622180212736_n.jpg Responses to New Feral Cat Policy https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/takeaction daily 0.75 2022-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560049621814-Q7PDRG083XIEFNBZOG5T/61831965_2097724243686937_8770923903968083968_n.jpg Take Action https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/petition-sfca daily 0.75 2022-07-26 https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/acwc daily 0.75 2022-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1562044143698-N5AP297SDYKVW3R2LEE8/IMG_7636.jpg SF Commission of Animal Control & Welfare (ACW) Meetings https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/issue daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1559509754095-3J5VLECM31BAZLJRQ28J/IMG_7675.jpg Current Issue https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/lost daily 0.75 2019-06-25 https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/kitten-gallery daily 0.75 2019-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560139312154-NL49OYIJIH8KJNAT85GS/IMG_7636.jpg Kitten Gallery This kitten’s eyes were infected from being outside.

All of her kittens have been adopted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560139786579-45BTIVDLPM0CFXVUOJHZ/IMG_8006.jpg Kitten Gallery This kitten was trapped in the nick of time. At possibly 4 weeks old, he was very sick and if he was outside any longer he surely would have died. Thankfully, he will have chance to get healthy and to live safely inside a loving home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560139918005-0B6EFKCIZDPIJLOQRJWD/IMG_8143.jpg Kitten Gallery This little girl was trying to survive outside with her mom and litter mate. She was fortunate to be found with her litter mate and mom was spayed to stop the cycle. Her kittens will have a chance to live in a loving home, safely inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560139374075-8ZHJR8V30GC4KODXZNSD/image1+%2810%29.jpg Kitten Gallery This is a feral mom nursing her kittens (10 days to 2 weeks old) in the safety of a foster home. Safe from predators (raccoons, coyotes, humans), harsh weather, starvation, abandonment, disease and death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560140445721-VNOMQOGUKIBVQNDKXGGV/IMG_7980.jpg Kitten Gallery The life of a feral (outdoor) cat is brutal. They are not wild animals. They are domesticated cats that humans have let down. They struggle to survive. This is the life of a feral cat, beaten up, starving, and barely surviving. We need to stop the cycle, trap the mom and kittens as quickly as possible so no cat has to endure this life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1560139530806-YVYNVAJEKQ0ZKOJ9OGPI/IMG_8153.jpg Kitten Gallery Fortunately, this kitten, 2 days old, was found in a backyard and was used to trap the feral mom. Mom cat raised her kittens safely in a foster home and the kittens were adopted instead of having to survive on the streets like their mom. https://www.sfanimalsvoice.org/found-kittens daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ceb13c2a9fd450001fdefae/1562043875665-8FNHVCPX5QVLH9R3F38O/61689849_417392688991203_1263787357979541504_n%2B%25281%2529.jpg Found Kittens?
