  • Program 1 [2020]

    FLATBUSH CATS LAUNCHED BROOKLYN'S FIRST COMMUNITY CAT PROGRAM, DESIGNED TO PROVIDE VOLUNTEERS THE TRAINING, SUPPORT AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO STERILIZE THE CATS ON THEIR BLOCK. PRIOR TO THIS PROGRAM, LESS THAN 10% OF VOLUNTEERS RECEIVING TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN CERTIFICATION IN NYC SUCCESSFULLY STERILIZED EVEN ONE OUTDOOR CAT, DUE TO DIFFICULTIES SECURING THE EQUIPMENT, SPAY/NEUTER APPOINTMENTS, AND HANDS-ON GUIDANCE NEEDED TO CONDUCT A TNR PROJECT. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM FLATBUSH CATS TRAINED OVER 200 NEW TNR VOLUNTEERS, IMPROVING PARTICIPATION RATE TO 26%, AND HELPING THEM STERILIZE 100+ FERAL CATS TO END THE REPRODUCTION CYCLE THAT LEADS TO OVERCROWDED SHELTERS AND PREVENTABLE EUTHANASIA.THROUGH OUR FOSTER PROGRAM, WE RESCUED 117 CATS AND KITTENS FROM THE STREETS IN BROOKLYN THROUGH DIRECT FIELD WORK, PROVIDING VOLUNTEER-BASED FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION SERVICES, INCLUDING SPAY/NEUTER, VACCINATION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AS NEEDED. FLATBUSH CATS WORKED WITH NEIGHBORS TO STERILIZE ALL REMAINING FERAL CATS AT RESCUE SITES THROUGH TNR EFFORTS, TO PREVENT MORE KITTENS FROM BEING BORN AND ENSURE ALL ACTIVE/MANAGED COLONIES MAINTAIN A TARGET STERILIZATION RATE OF 90% OR HIGHER.
