We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of feral and abandoned cats and kittens throughout the New Hampshire Seacoast area.
Feral and abandoned cats are a huge part of the growing pet over-population. Feral cats are the wild offspring of domestic cats, and ALWAYS the result of pet owners who fail to spay or neuter their animals. It is estimated that one pair of breeding cats and their offspring produce over 400,000 cats in 7 years.
They are everywhere; under rocks, on beaches, parks, alleys, fields and abandoned buildings. Cast off and unwanted, they band together for support and warmth. Cat-mothers teach kittens to be wary of humans and to defend themselves.
In 1998, several caring residents and business owners organized SAFER to slow the over-population and ease the suffering of the many cats through our neuter and spay programs.
Our goal is to educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering. Our immediate objective is to humanely trap, medically clear, spay or neuter and release these cats. When we come across a potentially adoptable cat or kitten, we place it in foster care to prepare it for adoption.
If a cat is found to be feral and healthy after a veterinary check-up, it is neutered or spayed and re-released to its home territory. We continue to monitor all cats in the colonies we maintain, thereby stopping needless reproduction and disease.
