Feral Cat Day is back!
As many of you know, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) is an effective way to control the overpopulation of cats. But what you might not know is that this event plays a key role in bringing together TRU Veterinary Technology students and the Kamloops BCSPCA Spay & Neuter Clinic. It offers students valuable hands-on experience, allowing them to apply their skills while making a real difference in the community.
We’re incredibly grateful that this biannual event continues to thrive, but we need your help to keep it going. Your donations are essential to support this important work, ensuring we can continue saving lives and training the next generation of veterinary professionals.

Help Us Make a Difference on Feral Cat Day, Friday October 25th! ❤️
Cat overpopulation in British Columbia is an ongoing issue, largely due to a lack of access to essential Spay/Neuter and vaccination services. Female cats reach sexual maturity as early as six months old, and with a short gestation period of around 65 days, their population can quickly spiral out of control. Unfortunately, this reality has led to a staggering number of feral cats across the province.
To address this challenge in a compassionate and effective way, the BC SPCA Kamloops Spay Neuter Clinic, alongside local cat rescues, has been working to manage these populations through the TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) method. This approach helps prevent future generations of homeless kittens from suffering due to cold, malnutrition, disease, and predators. The best way we can care for these cats is by managing colonies in a humane way that addresses overpopulation at its root.
On Friday October 25th, we’ll host our next Feral Cat Day, with a goal to spay and neuter up to 30 cats. To make this possible, we’re asking for your help.
A donation of $160 will neuter, or $215 will spay one cat.
With each donation, we’ll post a photo of the cat you’ve helped on our clinic webpage, along with your name as a donor.
Together, we can end the cycle of suffering and help these cats lead healthier, safer lives in their communities. Please consider donating to our Feral Cat Day and supporting our community Spay/Neuter program. Your generosity will make a lasting impact.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
Please contact us via email @ [email protected] or come into the clinic to donate.
