Feral cat solutions

The Humane Society of Mason County is dedicated to reducing the number of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. Please schedule an appointment for your pet to be spayed/neutered at our MASH style spay and neuter clinics.

Trap-neuter-return (TNR) is a program in which outdoor (feral) cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped and returned to the location where they were found. Colony caretakers provide food, water and shelter as necessary. TNR is the most humane and effective method for stabilizing and eventually reducing outdoor cat populations. Left unsterilized, the feral cats and their offspring would continue to reproduce, potentially introducing thousands of unwanted cats into the community. For available resources to assist with TNR please call our office at (360) 275-9310 or email us at info@hsmcwa.org. Visit our TNR page for more information.

In August 2021, HSMC partnered with the Mission Creek Corrections Center for Women in Belfair to provide foster care to cats waiting for their forever homes. Through their Pawsitive Prison Project and Cat Adoption Program, HSMC provides all the food, litter, transport and medical care necessary for cats needing foster care, and Mission Creek pairs the cats in need with women at the center trained as cat handlers. Since this foster program is fully funded by HSMC, we rely on donations to help us continue this partnership and provides cats awaiting their forever homes with a safe place to stay.
