There are an estimated half a million cats living on the streets of New York City. Flatbush Cats is an organization that tries to do something about the feral cats, stray cats, and kittens in Brooklyn. Flatbush Cats coordinates and army of TNR (trap-neuter-release) volunteers to keep feral cats from multiplying. They also capture kittens and socialized strays in order to find them homes.
But there are more problems that keep cats on the streets. People are willing to adopt cats, but are often unable to afford spaying and other veterinary care, which leads to more kittens and abandoned cats left to fend for themselves on the streets. So Flatbush Cats is launching a new initiative to open a veterinary clinic specifically to serve street cats, shelter cats, and families with low incomes in order to spay and neuter cats and help them recover from the dangers of street life.
