什么是社区猫?
Since 2016, the City of El Paso passed an ordinance allowing cats to be considered “free robb体育ing.” 埃尔帕索动物服务中心 promotes and follows the Community Cat Progrbb体育 as a humane and non-lethal approach to long term free-robb体育ing cat population control. 社区的猫 are often semi-friendly or unfriendly cats that wouldn’t be suitable for adoption into homes, 并且已经被认为是自由漫游. Don’t worry, 社区的猫 are already used to living outside and are happier this way!
猫 that go through the Community Cat progrbb体育 are spayed/neutered, have their ear tip clipped to symbolize they have been through the progrbb体育, 接种疫苗 and returned to the community they were brought from.

仓库/谷仓猫程序
多亏了他们的本能, cats can provide a free and natural form of pest control for warehouses, 马厩, 谷仓, 农场和牧场. 埃尔帕索动物服务中心 often has less-socialized kitties come into the center year-round looking for a different kind of “forever home,就仓库和谷仓而言, where they can live out their lives while also helping keep the rodent and insect population under control. Similar progrbb体育s across the country have found success with this practice, and local barn owners praise the results of this progrbb体育.
If you’re looking to “hire” a working warehouse or barn cat, adoption fees are free and warehouse cats come spayed/neutered, 接种疫苗并植入微芯片. 联系 Karen Burden at (915) 212-8719 for more information.
