Three Rivers Feral Project

The Western PA Humane Society is a partner in Three Rivers Feral Project, which is an initiative to provide low-cost spay/neuter/vaccination services to area caregivers who care for feral cat colonies.

These low-cost spay/neuter/vaccination services are available to feral colony caregivers who practice Trap-Neuter-Return, which is the humane solution for feral cats.

Included in the $30 per cat fee is spay or neuter surgery, performed by a licensed veterinarian at our North Shore veterinary clinic, a one-year rabies vaccination, and an ear-tip to identify the cat as an altered cat who is part of a managed feral cat colony.

To take advantage of this low-cost program, the caregiver must call one of the Western PA Humane Society’s veterinary clinics. You can reach the North Shore clinic at 412-321-4625; press “2” to schedule a surgery date. You can reach the Elizabeth clinic at 412-751-2010. Our clinic receptionist will let you know when the cat should be dropped off at our clinic, and when the cat can be picked up after surgery. You may need to leave a message, and our clinic receptionist will return your call promptly. Make sure to mention “Three Rivers Feral Project” to receive the discounted price.

Any feral cat or kitten over the age of three months is eligible for this program.

Each cat must arrive at our clinic in a humane box trap. The Western PA Humane Society can provide weekly rentals of traps for a deposit of $45 for each trap, $35 of which will be refunded upon the return of the trap in good condition within seven days.

The Western PA Humane Society encourages compassionate individuals who feed feral cats in
our communities to practice Trap-Neuter-Return. Most of these cats are not adoptable in a
shelter environment, but will thrive when spayed/neutered, provided with food, water
and shelter, and allowed to continue their lives in their outdoor home. We would
love to help you with this through the Three Rivers Feral Project.
