The Long Island Cat Project would like to thank Pet Peeves, Inc., "The Voice of Long Island Pets", benefiting the abused, abandoned and neglected pets of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, for their generous funding for the purchase of our veterinary supplies needed for use on the Suffolk SPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Van. Our objective is to target feral cat colonies on Long Island where cats are being fed but not spayed and neutered. With the use of the mobile spay neuter van we are able to implement TNR, trap, neuter, return, going on site to these needy locations with the intention to spay, neuter, vaccinate and treat any injured or ill cats. They are Ear Tipped, to identify them as having been spayed and neutered and then returned to their colony where they are monitored by care givers and are able to live out their lives in health, well being and comfort.

Females 36
Total 67 cats
Males 31
Females 36
6 Pregnant but fortunately in very early pregnancy days to 2 weeks only
21 kittens prevented from a life of suffering on the street.
*In feral cats, statistically half the kittens die shortly after birth, of the remaining surviving kittens, 70% will die before they reach 6 months of age. They die of starvation, illness and abandonment. They endure prolonged suffering and die a slow unmerciful death. For this reason, we spay females in early pregnancies.
The LICP will not spay to term mothers if a care giver will foster her to have the kittens in captivity, who are then adopted. The mother is spayed and returned to her colony.
3 cats had teeth cleaned and one had 2 teeth extracted, improving their lives.
Special thanks to Animal Lover League who donated all the supplies, most of the vaccinations, their facility and staff for the day.
A deep and heartfelt thank you to all who helped, in every way, to make this day a grand success for these 67 feral cats. Gay Senk, DVM
Animal Lovers League will also host 2 more free spay neuter days for ferals on 2/24 & 2/25. Call for info 516 676-5913.
