Columbus Cats in Crisis

There's a cat crisis in Columbus. Cat overpopulation has remained consistently high over the last decade, and today some local animal organizations estimate there are more than one million stray and feral (or free-roaming) cats in central Ohio. Cats in our community need your help!

The Capital Area Humane Society launched the AdvoCAT campaign to educate the community about the cat crisis and implement programs to help improve the plight of cats. Through the AdvoCAT campaign, we are working to inform the community about the seriousness of the problem and what they can do to help. By pledging your support as an AdvoCAT, you will receive information about upcoming events and programs and ways to get involved.

The AdvoCAT spay/neuter program has provided over 2,000 vouchers  for surgeries to members of the community for owned cats.

To help address cat over population in our community – we need to fix every cat in sight!  Your support of the Spay/Neuter Fund helps us to provide low or no cost surgery options to those in need.
