"A
Stitch in Time"
StreetCats, Inc.’s “A Stitch in Time” program began in 1998 and addresses the
burgeoning population of stray and/or feral felines in the greater Tulsa area
through a low cost spay/neuter and vaccination voucher program. Our primary
mission is to find forever homes for abandoned cats and StreetCats believes
that spaying and neutering cats on the streets will dramatically reduce the
number of cats needing homes.
Vouchers cost $20 and are available for purchase by persons willing to help the
homeless cats by getting them spayed (females) or neutered (males) and
vaccinated for rabies. It will be your responsibility to take the cat to a
selected veterinarian and pick it up after surgery in addition to providing it
with food and water. Vouchers are issued on a monthly basis but can be used up
to a three month period. StreetCats, Inc. partners with the veterinarians in
the Tulsa area (listed below) to make these low cost
vouchers available.
If you wish to purchase a voucher and participate in our
program, please call 918.298.0104 and leave your name and telephone number or
send an email to
cats@streetcatstulsa.org. A volunteer will then contact you to discuss A
Stitch in Time program in more detail. Vouchers need to be set up ahead of time
before you go into StreetCats to purchase them.
StreetCats’ volunteers are unable to help anyone trap cats
“on the street,” however, we do have traps that can be loaned out for two weeks
at no charge if you need to trap a cat in order to use a voucher.
In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can
theoretically produce 420,000 cats. Considering this staggering fact, one can
understand the importance of the program and the urgency to continue raising
awareness. Please consider donating to StreetCats, Inc. on a regular basis so
that “A Stitch in Time” can reach as many cats as possible.
