Mission Statement
To reduce the free-roaming cat population and improve the lives of unowned cats in the city of Rochester through spay/neuter, colony caretaker support, and community education.
About This Cause
RocKats is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to spaying and neutering free-roaming cats in the city of Rochester NY through the humane and effective practice of Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR). TNVR, in combination with managed feral cat colonies, offers cats a healthier life and prevents litters of kittens being born outdoors, many of whom will die before they reach six months of age. Sterilized cats are more agreeable community cats as noise from fighting and mating cease and the scent of unneutered male cats is no longer present. Cats who are vaccinated for rabies offer a barrier of protection to the human residents they live amongst. By preventing litters of kittens, TNVR prevents the suffering that so many will encounter outdoors. Finally, the number of cats decreases over time. Throughout the entire TNVR process, we educate the community about the serious problem of cat overpopulation and the importance of spaying and neutering all cats. We search for low-cost spay/neuter for owned cats and assist individuals by subsidizing the cost of spay/neuter and providing transportation. Our volunteers have 40 years of collective TNVR experience and are dedicated to ensuring that only healthy, thriving cats are returned to reliable caretakers in a safe environment, with warm shelter and daily food and water. We evaluate each cat for friendliness and adoptability and work with rescue partners to place these cats in loving homes.
