Caregiver Pledge
(all caregivers must agree and
sign this pledge before cats are
spay/neutered)
As a primary feral cat caregiver I will do the following:

  1. Humanely trap and care for feral cats on my property or at a location where I have
    obtained permission to conduct such activities.
  2. Provide feral cats with feeding stations that contain adequate food and water every
    day.  Provide adequate shelter for all feral cats in the colony.
  3. Attempt to humanely trap and have sterilized/vaccinated, all cats appearing at the
    feeding site.
  4. Monitor the colony on a daily basis.  Make a diligent attempt to humanely trap any
    injured or ill cat in order to have a veterinarian provide medical care or humane
    euthanasia, if necessary.
  5. Identify and humanely trap kittens who appear social. Such felines should be
    removed from the colony, sterilized, vaccinated and placed for adoption with an
    animal humane organization.
  6. Keep detailed records regarding medical services provided for the cats, kittens
    born, new additions to the colony, felines placed for adoption, disappearances, and
    deaths.  Once yearly, for statistical purposes, send accurately completed "Feral Cat
    Colony Logs" to Feral Cat Focus.
  7. Identify alternate caregivers who agree to care for the colony when you cannot be
    present.

I have read, fully understand, and agree to abide by the guidelines for Feral Cat Colony
maintenance which have been established by Feral Cat Focus and detailed above.  I have
received written instructional material regarding the proper long term maintenance of
feral cat colonies.
