Mission: Too many cats are without indoor homes in Prince George's County, and it's not by choice! PGFF was formed to address the needs of such local cat populations, and the people who live around them. We network closely with area community organizations and businesses, but answer a need those groups are not able to address. Our care approach leads to healthier cat populations and our rational approach to the management of the members of remaining groups of cats makes everyone's life more pleasant. With 69 percent of cats known to PGFF now sterilized, PGFF has shown that a managed approach can control population growth. We aim for 100 percent sterilization so that no more homeless kittens will need to be killed in our County.
Results: Delivery of humane education graded newsletter during the school year to 5,000 classrooms in K-6 grades; implementation of TNR and management plan at over 50 sites around the county where feral cat populations are stabilized and trending down; providing holistic animal care education for the past five years to local residents and people from across the US and the globe.
Target demographics: Compassionate people of all ages in or around Prince George's County
Direct beneficiaries per year: Forty individuals and 100 animals
Geographic areas served: Prince George's County, Maryland
