2nd Chance Feral Ranch

Corralling the Feral Cat Problem

FieldHaven Feline Center announces the ground-breaking of the 2nd Chance Feral Ranch.

Feral cats - and how best to save their lives - has been a challenge for shelters everywhere. These cats are usually deemed "unadoptable" as they're fearful of humans and unable to adapt to the easy life most house cats enjoy.

It's that fearful and sometimes aggressive temperament that makes them the most euthanized animals in municipal shelters whose budgets don't allow for extra programs. FieldHaven partners with the shelters to save the lives of the cats that can't be returned to their community homes through TNR (trap/neuter/return).

FieldHaven has faced this problem head-on for more than a dozen years by promoting the excellent rodent control qualities unique to feral cats in rural areas with rodent issues. The program, called Rodent Rangers, has been very successful but housing these cats until a barn is found has been a big challenge.

The 2nd Chance Feral Ranch will largely solve this housing problem. Situated on a secure ranch in rural Lincoln, the facility will act as a halfway house for wayward cats - temporarily housing the furry felines until a barn home opens up and they can go to work. Donations are needed to fund construction so the ranch can be completed before the rains come.

FieldHaven is proud to once again serve our community by thinking outside the corral. "Having the support of our community pushes us to go a little farther each day to save lives" said Joy Smith, FieldHaven Executive Director.

Anyone interested in helping build and support the 2nd Chance Feral Ranch can join the posse by donating at www.fieldhaven.com or sending a donation by Pony Express (aka snailmail) to FieldHaven Feline Center, 2754 Ironwood Lane, Lincoln, CA 95648
