Traps

If you do not have traps, we have traps you can borrow. The traps can be picked up on a prescheduled date and time prior to each clinic at the Pendleton County Extension Office, 45 David Pribble Dr, Falmouth in the parking lot. If you are unable to pick up traps on those dates and times, please call or text (859) 910-9259 or email humanesocietynky@gmail.com. Trap return instructions will be provided upon pickup of your community cat(s) from the clinic.

See link “Trapping Instructions” for details on when and how to properly trap Community Cats. All trapping should be complete prior to going to bed the night BEFORE the clinic, with cats safely covered and sheltered for the overnight. No trapping should occur overnight as this leaves the cats unprotected from predators and the elements. This also decreases the probability of trapping other animals (raccoons/opossums) and increases the probability of being able to trap the animals you signed up for.

Arrival & Pickup

Drop-off is between 7:15-8AM for pet and community cats. Please do not arrive early or late without previous arrangements as our volunteers follow a schedule in order to properly prepare for everyone and to give the care needed to our surgical clients.

Pick-up is the same day, later in the afternoon. We will call or text you with the pick-up time (usually between 1:30pm and 3:00pm for cats).

Surgery Prices for Community Cats

There is no cost to you to spay / neuter community cats.  The costs are covered by the Humane Society of NKY and Friends of the Shelter.  However, any donation you could make towards this would be appreciated and tax deductible!
