Alley Cat Allies has some great tips for community caregivers!

Community cat care tip: Keep cats' feeding area clean!

Feed on plates or in dishes rather than throwing food on the ground. Then, remove any uneaten food after 30 minutes and clean up. Leaving food can attract insects and wildlife and lead to foul odors.

These best practices not only help cats stay comfortable in their outdoor home, it decreases the chance of concerns or complaints from community members.

🌟 A Huge Thank You to Our Amazing Community!

This weekend, the Virgin Islands Spay and Neuter team achieved something truly incredible. Over the past two days, we successfully completed a high-volume, high-quality spay and neuter clinic, treating 125 animals on St Thomas! 🎉

112 cat surgeries (plus 2 trapped cats that were previously neutered received vaccines and flea prevention)
9 dog surgeries
2 dogs that weren’t quite ready for surgery received critical wellness care.

This clinic could not have been a success without the unwavering support of our community. A special thank you goes out to all the volunteers and animal caretakers who adapted so gracefully during technical glitches. Your dedication ensured that every animal came through safely and successfully. 🙏

Most of the cats were part of the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return program, benefiting various colonies around St. Thomas. Caretakers and volunteers spent untold hours prepping, trapping, and transporting so we could provide for as many animals as possible. We also had the privilege of helping seven community dogs and performing some life-saving surgeries. 🐱🐶

We are also immensely grateful to the team from Massachusetts for coming down to make this clinic possible. Your expertise and kindness made all the difference. ❤️

Thank you once again to everyone involved. Together, we’re making a significant impact in the Virgin Islands!

We’d love to hear updates! Please share your pictures and experiences. Don’t forget to tag those that helped!

Woohoo!! Exciting News for Our Community!

We’re thrilled to announce that VISN has 20 cat traps and a drop trap ordered and on the way to enhance our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and community spay/neuter efforts on St Thomas.

TNR is a humane and effective way to manage and reduce feral cat populations. By trapping, neutering, and then returning these cats to their colonies, we not only help control the population but also improve their overall health and well-being.

The benefits of TNR extend beyond just the cats. It leads to fewer stray cats in our neighborhoods, reduces nuisance behaviors, and helps protect local wildlife. Plus, it fosters a compassionate community where we take care of our animal friends!

Stay tuned for more updates on our TNR initiatives and how you can get involved! We’ll be assembling a volunteer trap and transport team soon.
