MAISIES CARING FOR CATS NFP
EIN 92-3012966 · Animal Protection & Welfare (D20)
What they do
THE MISSION of MAISIES CARING for CATS is to IMPROVE THE LIVES of FERAL, STRAY and COMMUNITY CATS IN MASSAC COUNTY, ILLINOIS BY SPAYING and NEUTERING, PROVIDING REGULAR FEEDING, and PROVIDING NECESSARY VETERINARY CARE. THE ORGANIZATION WILL WORK to FIND HOMES for ADOPTABLE CATS, BUT MOST OTHERS WILL BE RETURNED to THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM WHERE THEY CAME (TRAP, NEUTER, RETURN - TNR). THE SMALL, RURAL COMMUNITY HAS AN OVER POPULATION of DOMESTIC CATS DUE to ABANDONMENT and THE FAILURE of CAT OWNERS to SPAY and NEUTER. THERE is NO GOVERNMENT RESOURCE to IMPROVE THIS SITUATION. THIS RESULTS IN A LARGE NUMBER of STRAY and FERAL POPULATIONS. THE LIVES of THESE CATS ARE SHORT and DIFFICULT. THEY STRUGGLE to FIND FOOD. THEY SUFFER FROM BACTERIAL and VIRAL INFECTIONS THAT RESULT FROM FIGNTING WITH OTHER CATS, LACK of ADEQUATE NUTRITION, and PARASITIC INFESTATIONS. AGGRESSIVE TNR WILL CONTROL THIS PROBLEM.
