Community/Cat Assistance Team (CAT) Member

The Community/Cat Assistance Team (shortened aptly to “CAT”) comprises a fabulous base of feline-experienced volunteers and staff who answer questions from the public on cat behavior, feral and community cats, rehoming personal cats, and so much more. We train community members on how to Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR), coaching them through each step and providing the equipment they need.

Members of the Community/Cat Assistance Team serve as the voice of FieldHaven in educating the public about the problems of animal overpopulation and the management of healthy feral cat colonies in our rural NorCal community. Many also serve as emergency relief shelter workers in times of natural disaster. FieldHaven staff and volunteers are regularly engaged by Placer and Yuba County officials to assist in setting up temporary emergency shelters during incidents of fire or flooding. We are saving lives and keeping cats out of shelters with CAT.
