June's TNR clinics are over, and we want to take a minute to thank all the volunteers and trappers who made these clinics possible! We were able to help 105 cats this month 🙀 With how crazy kitten season has been this year, every cat put through TNR truly does work towards solving the issue.

Thank you to our volunteers: Teri B, Christine B, Alexandra Y, Chris Y, Tracy V, Lori C, Zoe M, Jenn M, Stephanie V, Zach V, Glenn J, Delores S, Kris H, Megan D and Diana S.

Our July clinic dates are: July 10th, July 22nd, and July 26th. We will be announcing August dates soon, so please keep a lookout for that post!

Good luck to everyone who is trapping today for tomorrow's clinic! 😸

Remember to not leave your traps unattended for too long. This hot weather can be dangerous for the kitties, so check your traps frequently if you're trapping during full-sun hours ☀

REMINDER: The next June TNR clinic date is this Saturday, June 21st.

We can take up to 40 cats, 50% will be appointments and 50% will be walk ins. As always appointments will open up on this link on Monday, June 16th at 9am: https://signup.com/go/YcCwbKk

All cats must be in their own trap, and all cats must be trapped in Berkeley County. Traps can be rented at Berkeley Animal Center starting June 16th for a $40 refundable deposit!

June is Adopt a Cat Month! 🙀 And it just so happens that our local shelters and rescues are up to their ears in cats right now....so basically it's the perfect time to adopt a cat if you've been thinking of doing it 😼

🐈 Forgotten Paws of the South has so many kittens who are almost ready for adoption! Check out their page and send them a message if you see someone you're interested in. (You can also foster with them too if you want something not as permanent!)
🐈‍⬛ Second Chance Sanctuary has so many friendly teenage and adult cats who used to be strays but have been given a second chance. See all the cuties they have available on their page
🐈 Berkeley Animal Center has taken in soo many kittens this year and they rely on the public's help with adopting and foster to make it possible for them to help even more animals. Head into the shelter when they're open to see who is available for adoption and foster!

Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and taught us!! We’re so grateful that we found a way to keep the program going for all the kitties and people who rely on it 💜💜

As many of you know, 3 years ago we launched a comprehensive Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, and Release (TNVR) program in partnership with Berkeley Animal Center (BAC) and Charleston Animal Society (CAS) in South Carolina. TNVR is critical for keeping the population of homeless animals under control, and for maintaining the health of community animals. Since we started, our monthly spay/neuter clinics staffed by our MSPCA veterinary teams have successfully provided spay/neuter to over 4,500 community cats.

When we began this program, the cat euthanasia rate was an incomprehensible 50%. Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, euthanasia has dropped to under 10%. Think about what this means for the lives of each of those cats, but also for the shelter staff and the volunteers who deeply love these animals. 

In addition to our TNVR work, our team has helped BAC to improve operational systems and overall shelter care. We’ve also maintained a regular relocation schedule with BAC and CAS.

It is bittersweet to share that last month’s clinic was our final one under this model, and we are no longer needed. This was always the goal: to empower the region to thrive without us. Charleston Animal Society is taking over operations at BAC, and will provide veterinary staffing for the ongoing clinics, ensuring a smooth transition and long-term sustainability.

We’re incredibly proud of the role we’ve played in helping BAC reach a more sustainable place. With CAS now at the helm, we’re confident this next chapter will build on the momentum and continue to improve the lives of pets, and the people who love them, in Berkeley County.

Our friends at Forgotten Paws of the South are looking for a foster for Mama Napa and her babies; Chassis, Axle, Cam, Dash, and Blinker!

They’re outgrowing their current lodging and are looking for somewhere new to stretch their little legs. We know kitten season has been crazy for everyone, but if you have room to open your house for this little family, please send Forgotten Paws of the South a message!

A little glimpse into a recent clinic! We’re so grateful that we can provide this much needed service to our community. Thank you to all the trappers out there who are giving it their all every month!!💜
