The mission of the Cat Support Network is to develop and implement grassroots outreach programs that address cat overpopulation, suffering and wellness in our community.
CSN believes that targeted innovative programs that provide no/low cost spaying and neutering, low cost preventative care of cats and educational outreach to families and communities will result in:
* Fewer cats placed in the shelters.
* Fewer healthy adoptable cats euthanized due to overpopulation at the shelters.
* Fewer cats reproducing as strays on the streets.
* Ensuring our families maintain a sustainable number of cats in their care
The work of Cat Support Network volunteers and staff will directly and ultimately result in an enhanced quality of life for the cats and the communities within Contra Costa County.
The Cat Support Network will achieve this mission by:
* Creating spay and neuter services that target community members or neighborhoods most in need of a low cost services.
* Scheduling and promoting frequent and affordable spay/neuter events.
* Providing support services that include transportation for families to assure accessibility to spay/neuter events.
* Encouraging and implementing Trap-Neuter-Release programs in neighborhoods.
* Developing and promoting public awareness programs highlighting the plight of abandoned homeless cats and promotes healthy cats.
* Improving the lives of stray and homeless cats by finding “forever” homes for rescued adoptable cats.
