ARF To Host 2 Feral Cat Clinics

EAST HAMPTON, NY — The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons has scheduled two upcoming trap-neuter-return, or TNR, clinics designed to address the needs of feral cat populations in the Hamptons and in Brookhaven.

These clinics, which will be held on November 9 and November 16, are aimed at promoting the well-being of feral cats and reducing their overpopulation, ARF said.

ARF Hamptons said they are committed to caring for animals in need, and the TNR clinics provide a service for feral cats that might otherwise be left unattended. The first clinic will be conducted on Thursday, November at the ARF campus, located at 124 Daniels Hole Road in East Hampton, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The second clinic will be held on Thursday, November, with the ARF mobile spay/neuter van headed to Brookhaven, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Participation is free, but pre-registration is required. Individuals interested in attending must sign up in advance to secure their spot. It is important to note that each person can register a maximum of three cats.

TNR, ARF said, is a humane and effective approach to managing feral cat populations. "This practice helps prevent the suffering of cats, control their numbers, and improve the overall quality of life for feral cats in our communities. By participating in these clinics, individuals contribute to the well-being of these animals and support ARF Hamptons' mission of saving lives," the organization said.

The clinics will also include vaccinations, ear-tipping and basic medical checks.
