TRAP-NEUTER-RELEASE COACHING
If you are feeding and caring for a colony or group of homeless
cats, feral or tame, and need resources to trap and spay/neuter
them, ending the unwanted flow of kittens every spring and
fall, call our hotline at 978-779-8287.
One of our coaches will return your call to help you develop a plan and offer
resources such as traps and guidance on how to use them. Affordable
spay/neuter services are available, as well as limited free services.
All transportation is the responsibility of the caregiver.
SURRENDER SERVICES
Although we cannot take in any surrendered cats or dogs, we can help you locate
a broad list of area shelters that can. Call our hotline at 978-779-8287

Kill Shelters or click

your cat or homeless ones you care for, our counselors
may be able to help you by providing resources and/or guidance.
Call our hotline at 978-779-8287 or email us at info@secondchancefund.org with
your situation. We will contact you promptly and address
your individual need with kindness and compassion.
SCRATCH'S PATCH-UP FUND (“SPUF”)
Scratch's Patch-Up Fund is a program that supports care for catastrophic illness or injury of companion animal dogs and cats owned by people in desperate need. All SPUF recipients must meet income guidelines and be qualified. The process to approve a SPUF candidate may take up to 2 weeks, so is not typically suitable for emergency situations. If you are struggling with such a medical crisis, call our hotline at 978-779-8287 or email us at info@secondchancefund.org.
Income restrictions apply; proof is required. Please click
