The Stray & Feral Rescue Project (SFRP) is NOT a shelter but an aggressive TNR (trap, neuter, return) effort run by volunteers assisting the community.

The Stray & Feral Rescue Project is dedicated to the care and protection of homeless and abandoned animals. Our goals include working with other animal rescue groups to save as many lives as possible and to actively seek out permanent homes for these animals. To assist our community in bringing quality of life to a last generation of feral cats born to our streets and neighborhoods here in New London County.

The Stray & Feral Rescue Project (SFRP) is NOT a shelter but an aggressive TNR (trap, neuter, return/rehome) effort run by members and volunteers of local animal rescue and welfare groups and Pet Pals Northeast, Inc. and supported by some local rescue groups, local animal control, shelters and national organizations. The SFRP was created in 2003 to lower the over population of street cats, and stray/feral (wild) cats by decreasing their numbers humanely with the only proven solution used worldwide - TNR. In 2003 there was a major need for a TNR program in our area and after much research and educating ourselves The SFRP was modeled after successful TNR efforts nation and worldwide. In cooperation with other local animal rescue groups, local officials, animal control officers and veterinarians our volunteers work endlessly to stop the unnecessary misery and suffering of abandoned, lost, and stray/feral cats. Our volunteers work with and educate local residents implementing TNR projects within their neighborhoods and throughout New London County. In addition to our TNR efforts, our volunteers provide: basic care (food, water, vaccinations, shelter, etc.) on a daily basis to several large cat colonies, affordable spay/neuter services to low income individuals, and educational workshops on "Starting A TNR Project in Your Neighborhood".
The SFRP is a TNR effort and program of an all volunteer organization that receives no funding from the town, state or government and is solely supported by the community and businesses they serve. Because SFRP is an all volunteer organization 100% of donations go directly to decreasing the street cat population here in New London County. We hold various fund raisers and adoption events throughout the year to support our spay/neuter efforts and the animals we rescue.
