***********************************************************************
Welcome to Feral Feline Project! There
are 2 spay/neuter programs being
offered. They are the Feral Cat
Spay/Neuter Program and the Pet Cat
Spay/Neuter Program. Please read below
for more information.
Feral Feline Project (FFP)
specializes in Trap Neuter and Return (TNR) of feral (wild) or stray, outdoor cats. Our efforts focus on humanely reducing outdoor and abandoned cats living in Northern Cook County, IL.
Cats are humanely trapped and taken to the veterinarian clinic to receive
the TNR package (please read below). They are returned back to their familiar habitat and are cared for and monitored by their caretaker. This process immediately halts the births of feral kittens, improves the overall health of the cats and stabilizes the colony.
Feral Cat
Spay and Neuter Program
This
program is for feral and stray cats that
are living outdoors. Please note that
FFP does not remove or relocate feral
cats. There is no farm/sanctuary or
other colony for them to be transferred
to. The TNR package includes
spay/neuter, 1 year rabies, microchip,
Frontline Plus, left ear tip and exam
for $75 per cat. The cats
also receive an examination, treatment for illnesses or minor wounds and are ear tipped.
If you are a Des Plaines resident in
the 60018 zip code, thanks to a PetSmart
Charities grant, the TNR package is $11.
There are only 70 $11 packages and once
it runs out, we will not be able to
honor the $11. The price will go back to
its normal $75 per cat. We accept cash,
credit card (on-line only) and check.
There is an option for payment plan, but
must be pre-approved by a volunteer.
If you
would like to proceed, please fill out
the
Feral Cat Caretakers Spay
and Neuter Application.
Fill it
out and submit it either by fax, mail or
by scanning and emailing it. Once the
application is received, a volunteer
will contact you to set up a time to
give you traps, show you how to set
them, review the entire process, answer
questions and make a vet appointment.
Please have the signed trap agreement
ready at this time. It is located in
your caretaker application packet. If
you do not have it, here it is:
Trap Agreement.
There is a
refundable $55 per trap deposit. This
will be returned after the traps are
assessed for damage and cleanliness. We
reserve the right to withhold returning
the deposit if we believe our traps have
been misused, damaged or not returned in
proper condition.
Please
note: Due to high demand, our volunteers
do not trap the cats or transport. You
must do this part of the process
yourself. If you are disabled, elderly
or have other special requirements,
please contact us. We will do our best
to accommodate your special needs.

There is a good chance that not every
single cat in a colony is feral. We have
many pet cats that join colonies after
getting lost or abandoned. If you have a
friendly cat in your colony or kittens
and are interested in fostering it
yourself or getting it placed in one of
our foster homes please contact us. We
can help the adoption process by placing
and showing cats at PetSmart or by
posting the cat or kitten on our Petfinder.com account.
Please stop by to see the cats and kittens
up for adoption in the
PetSmart adoption center, 7 days of
week, at 700 N. Milwaukee Rd. Vernon
Hills, IL. You may walk out
with the love of your life. We
also show kittens on Saturday and
Sundays at the Mt. Prospect PetSmart
located in Randhurst Shopping Center.
Please call for dates and times.
