What does SAFER do?

We trap homeless & feral cats.

​

What happens to those cats?

After holding the cat for a week (in case someone has lost it), it goes to the vet to be checked for microchip (returned to owner if one is found), spay/neutered, receive appropriate shots and any medical treatment necessary, and is microchipped.

​

How does SAFER pay these veterinary bills?

Public donations, fundraisers, and the money from your purchases of SAFER merchandise.

​

What happens to these cats after they receive vet care?

The friendly/homeless cats are placed for adoption.

The community (feral) cats are returned to their original home.

​

How do these community cats survive?

SAFER sets-up a shelter and feeding station.

SAFER Volunteers feed each returned-cat canned & dry food and gives them fresh water every day.

​

Where does this food come from?

Food is donated by the public (placed in our donation boxes) or dropped off to a SAFER representative.

​

Does SAFER receive enough food donation to feed All the returned community cats?

No.  At times, SAFER must use money donated by the Public to purchase food.

​

How many community cats does SAFER care for?

Currently, SAFER cares for 21 cats each day at these stations.  (In 2004, we were caring for over 800 community cats.)

​

How many cats has SAFER helped?

Over 4,000 cats have been cared-for since we began in 1989!  That is 1 cat every 2 days!!

​

What towns does SAFER service?

From Portsmouth to Seabrook – Hampton to Exeter.

​

How much money goes to the SAFER Volunteers?

ZERO!  Every SAFER Volunteer is Unpaid!!

Every penny SAFER receives goes directly toward the care of the cats.
