Aggie Cat Services

 

Aggie Cat Services provides shelter, food, vaccines, and sterilization for feral (unowned, wild)cats. These cats are otherwise unadoptable due to their timid or wild behavior, so their best chances for quality of life are to have their needs provided for and to decrease breeding. They may make great mousers but will rarely make good pets. This sort of program, labeled Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), is a more humane and arguably cost-effective alternative to Trap/Kill.


The 501(c)3 non-profit program began at the Utah State University campus as a response to the overpopulation of cats on campus due to dumping and breeding. ACS continues to maintain a number of stable feeding stations and are now expanding into Logan city.

Also, here are a few tips regarding stray cats:


  1. 1)In most cities, feeding stray cat colonies without approval from the city is illegal.

  2. 2)Feeding a stray cat also legally makes that animal yours, meaning you will be responsible for its actions (including if it becomes a nuisance or is picked up by animal control).

  3. 3)The best way to secure a stray cat’s safety is to report it to animal control right away so they can locate an owner or put it up for adoption.

  4. 4)We strongly recommend you limit your own cats’ meals to 20 minutes at a time a couple times per day so you can avoid attracting stray cats to your home.

  5. 5)Finally, fix your outdoor cats! Whether your cat is a male or a female, an unfixed cat is creating unwanted kittens which grow up to breed more or, tragically, barely start their life before dying from exposure and lack of care.
