The Visalia Feral Cat Coalition seeks to reduce cat overpopulation by practicing, teaching, and raising awareness of Trap Neuter Return Manage (TNRM). We believe through community cooperation and outreach we can eliminate the suffering of these abandoned animals by breaking the reproductive cycle. We are committed to the well-being of our local feral and community cats.
The Visalia Feral Cat Coalition targets identified problem areas in Visalia, California and surrounding cities. We work with the local residents and/or business owners by education on TNR and feral cat colony management. In cooperation with the residents or business owners, a mass trapping is scheduled. Cats are trapped and taken to a clinic where they are neutered, vaccinated and their ears are tipped. Kittens and socialized cats are fostered by volunteers and placed into homes. Healthy adult feral/community cats are returned to their colony site where designated caretakers provide food, shelter and continuing care. Follow up trappings are conducted for missed or stray cats.

Visalia Feral Cat Coalition offers TNR Vouchers for getting feral/community cats spayed/neutered with a $30 copay. The cats need to be living on their own in order to qualify for the program and the ear will be tipped. To get voucher codes Click Here. We also loan traps, on a first come first serve basis.
We wish we could help all cats, but we are focused on feral/community cats. We don’t have the funds to pay for spaying and neutering non-feral/community cats. We are all volunteers and 100% donation dependent, so we are very limited on what we can do.
Our vouchers can be used at:
Without Companion Animal Medical Clinic we would not have a program. Dr. Kuswa has volunteered countless hours and resources to the Visala Feral Cat Coalition. Dr. Kuswa and her staff volunteer for our mass trappings giving up their weekends to spay and neuter feral cats. Thank you Companion Animal Medical Clinic. Due to the current situation you need to contact them for appointments for your feral cats and then trap the night before the day they give you. Cats have to be in a humane trap. Please keep your cage covered so the cat is less tramatized. Companion Animal’s address is 5229 W Walnut Ave, Visalia, CA 93277, 559 625-9920.
Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic, Porterville Cats is the newest addition to our clinics that take our vouchers. We are so happy to have them and have already had rave reviews.
