Habitat for Cats
About Us
Originally founded to build huts/shelters (a.k.a. "habitats") for feral cats, Habitat for Cats was established in 1999 to help relieve the suffering of feral and homeless cats, who have been called "the most neglected animal in the animal humane network." Our focus now is to reduce cat overpopulation by implementing a trap-neuter-return [TNR] program and to educate the public on the benefits of this non-lethal method of population control.
Habitat for Cats [HFC] changed its focus so as to better concentrate its time and efforts to a more effective goal: spaying/neutering feral cats to overcome the feral cat overpopulation in our area. As more cats are euthanized at animal shelters than any other species, feral cats (which are the largest source of feline overpopulation) are unfortunately a significant portion of these euthanizations.
We are an all-volunteer group totally dependent upon goodwill and donations to reduce the feral cat overpopulation by using a humane solution, called Trap-Neuter-Return [TNR], to try to decrease their numbers.

Please HELP the Henrietta Throwaways!
Habitat for Cats is working to rescue, medically treat, foster, and adopt up to 9 cats left abandoned near a feral cat colony in Henrietta. The dump offs have occurred on at least 3 separate occasions over the past several weeks. All of the cats needed treatment for fleas and worms, with some needing additional treatment for dehydration, persistent diarrhea, ear mites, upper respiratory infection, and intestinal damage from years of mistreatment. Most of them have missing or cracked teeth, probably due to bad nutrition and/or from chewing on the bars of the cages they were forcibly kept in. Several of them have bent or deformed ears. All of the cats will need to be spayed or neutered.
