Bushwick Street Cats needs volunteers to trap, foster and build winter shelters for the neighborhood’s feral cats

Certification opens very low-cost spay and neuter services. The group also takes applications to foster or adopt, teaches winter shelter building and works alongside North Brooklyn Cats and Ocean Hill Cats.

Bushwick Street Cats, a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit, works to reduce the free-roaming cat population in Bushwick and nearby areas through trap-neuter-return, and is asking residents to get certified in the method, foster or adopt, build winter shelters or donate.

Trap-neuter-return, or TNR, is the practice of humanely trapping free-roaming cats, having them spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and returning them to where they were found. Bushwick Street Cats is a small group of volunteers rather than a shelter, and it operates alongside other local groups, including North Brooklyn Cats and Ocean Hill Cats, with Neighborhood Cats serving as its mentor organization.
