Putnam AdvoCATS, Inc. is an all-volunteer, non-profit, charitable  501(c)3 organization working to help stray and feral cats in Putnam  County, NY.  We practice Trap-Neuter-Return which involves trapping  unsterilized cats living in a colony, having them spayed/neutered,  vaccinated against rabies, marked for identification, and returned to  their original location.  TNR programs are proven to stabilize and  significantly reduce the size of free-roaming cat colonies by preventing  new litters of offspring.  We provide  spay/neuter programs, cat adoption services, and placement of cats with  temporary foster families.

  Additionally, we: 

• Educate the public on the  benefits of Trap-Neuter-Return in their community; 
• Advocate for stray or  feral cats to be protected from cruelty and to live in a safe  environment; 
• Promote community awareness of the need to spay/neuter  pets; 
• Assist colony caretakers with the care, management and feeding of  their colonies; 
• Facilitate the TNR process by providing education,  equipment, and support when needed;
• Work to re-home friendly strays and  get kittens adopted into forever homes.
