Mission Statement
To improve the lives of all cats and provide support and education for the people who care about them.
About This Cause
MRFRS began in 1992 as a few caring souls who decided to come to the aid of the 300+ free-roaming cats barely surviving along the Newburyport, Massachusetts waterfront. The effort our founders launched was one of the first in the nation to use Trap-Neuter-Return to improve the lives of free-roaming cats. Once all of the cats had been trapped and fixed, we fed them twice a day at waterfront feeding stations and monitored them for illness, injury, and any new additions. Those cats that showed an ability to be socialized were taken into foster care and adopters found. Thanks to that work, the final cat in the waterfront colonies, “Zorro,” passed away of old age in 2009. Our current programs include: Adoption Program: a no-kill adoption center in Salisbury, MA housing up to 60 cats and kittens Feral Program: assistance with feral TNR (trap, vaccinate, neuter, and release) program Sunday Spay/Neuter Clinics: monthly spay/neuter clinics for feral cats The Catmobile: a low-cost mobile spay/neuter clinic covering all of Eastern MA Foster Program: cats and kittens in need of TLC before adoption FARS Program: assistance with veterinary care costs for owned cats The Captain Courageous Fund: assistance for injured feral cats The Bridge Program: provides emergency boarding for cats whose owners are in perilous circumstances Catmobile & Spay/Neuter Resource Hotline: refers dog and cat owners across the state to low-cost spay/neuter services Since our inception, the MRFRS has assisted over 130,000 cats — placing over 22,800 cats and kittens into homes, spaying or neutering over 14,000 feral cats at our TNR clinics, and over 65,000 cats on our Catmobile.
