Additional things feral caretakers should know:

• Caretakers must elect for the cat to receive a rabies vaccine at a cost of $5 and an ear tip designating the cat as a sterilized feral cat.
• Only 4 cats, each in their own live trap, will be accepted per person/organization. Cats not brought in a live trap, will be subject to paying full price for their sterilization and require an appointment. Additional cats, after the first 12 in line, may be declined for service, or if the schedule permits may be accepted at full spay/neuter price.
• Caretakers may not use placeholders to reserve a place in line for feral cats. In order to be counted as one of the first 12 in line, a cat must be physically in a live trap and in line.
• Caretakers are responsible for additional fees incurred during surgery (i.e. in heat, pregnant or a cryptorchid). Caretakers will also incur an anesthesia fee ($20) for cats who are presented for surgery and already sterilized.
• If TCAP’s veterinarian determines a patient does not meet the minimum health requirements for services, the patient will be declined to ensure the patient’s health. This declination of service is for a pet’s well-being and the patient will be referred to local, full-service hospitals for care.
• Some cities require feral cat colony registration.
