🐈 You've probably noticed cats and kittens running around — it's breeding season, through August. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Some are feral (not social with humans) and others are stray (socialized with humans), but all need to be vaccinated and sterilized to keep the cat population healthy.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ To end overpopulation, spay and neuter programs are crucial. The Humane Society serves as a surgery center every Monday to sterilize as many as 100 cats. St. Francis and the county resource center each bring cats and kittens to the Humane Society weekly. The cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and either put up for adoption or returned to where they were found if they are feral.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on how to help, click the link in our bio. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ✍️ : Jake Piazza & 📷 : Arielle Bader / Tampa Bay Times
