Mission
OCEAN HILL CATS' GOAL IS TO HUMANELY AND SAFELY REDUCE THE HUGE OVERPOPULATION OF STRAY AND FERAL CATS LIVING ON THE STREETS AND INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THOSE WHO STAY OUTSIDE. WE DO OUR PART BY PARTICIPATING IN TRAP, NEUTER, RETURN (TNR) PROGRAM - WE USE HUMANE TRAPS TO CATCH FERAL CATS AND TAKE THEM TO THE VET. THEY GET FIXED (SPAYED OR NEUTERED), VACCINATED, FLEA TREATED, DEWORMED AND RETURNED OUTDOORS TO THE SAME SPOT WHERE THEY WERE TRAPPED. AFTER THE RELEASE, WE COORDINATE ONGOING CARE (FOOD, WATER, SHELTER) FOR THE COMMUNITY CATS BY TENDING TO THE CAT COLONIES OURSELVES OR WORKING WITH VOLUNTEERS. IF THE STREET CATS WITHIN OUR CARE GET SICK OR INJURED, WE TAKE THEM IN AND ENSURE THEY GET APPROPRIATE VETERINARY CARE. WHERE NEEDED AND/OR POSSIBLE, WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO FIND HOMES FOR STREET CATS - FOR EXAMPLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY CATS LIVING IN DANGEROUS LOCATIONS, SICK CATS WHO CAN'T SURVIVE OUTSIDE OR ABANDONED PETS.
