    Since 2001, we have successfully “snipped and clipped” – that is, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and ear tipped – approximately 600 homeless cats each year in central Virginia. As of February 2005, we have helped over 2,500 cats lead healthier and non-reproductive lives! We’ve helped the cats, the taxpayers who would otherwise pay to euthanize the cats at local shelters, and we’ve helped the caretakers who faithfully feed and care for their colonies. Thank you for helping us to continue our good work!
