P.A.N.T. - Partnership for Animals Needing Transition

It is the mission of P.A.N.T. to reduce the feral and abandoned cat population in Dutchess County through education, prevention and adoption programs. We will achieve this by advocating the humane and proven method of Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) and by forming an alliance of veterinarians, the general public, local governments and volunteer groups.

P.A.N.T. has been serving Dutchess County, NY since 2002. Feral, stray, abandoned, or homeless are all names given to the large numbers of free roaming cats located in the communities we serve. We assist these cats and the people who care for them. We work with members of the community helping cats in need. We conduct Trap/Neuter/Return and train home and business owners, college campuses and municipal agencies how to properly care for free roaming cats. We help throughout Dutchess County by training them, loaning equipment, coordinating Spay/Neuter Clinics and offering guidance.
