Downtown Twain Harte
Feral Cat Spay & Neuter Program
Helping Reduce Our Local Feral Cat Population
The Twain Harte Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that we’re launching a local community effort to help address the growing feral cat population in downtown Twain Harte through a humane Trap-Neuter-Return program.
Through this program, feral cats will be safely trapped, transported to a local spay and neuter clinic, allowed time to recover, and then returned to the area where they were originally trapped. This approach helps prevent future litters, reduces long-term population growth, and supports a more humane, practical response to a problem that affects businesses, residents, and visitors alike .
This is a local solution powered by local support.
How the Program Is Funded
To help cover the cost of trapping, transportation, and spay and neuter services, we are taking donations and collecting eligible plastic, glass, and aluminum recycling and putting those proceeds directly toward the program.
Businesses and community members can support this effort in three ways: donate directly to the program, donate eligible recycling to the program, or by take your own recycling directly to Sonora Recycling and asking that the proceeds be credited to the Chamber’s account for feral cat control.
Three ways YOU Can Help
DONATE! Use the form on this page to donate directly to our spay & neuter program
-AND/OR-
Contact the Chamber when you have a bag or more of eligible CA CRV plastic, glass, and aluminum recycling (including wine and spirits bottles!), and we’ll send a volunteer to collect it from you.
-AND/OR-
Drop it off! Take your plastic, glass, and aluminum recycling to:
Sonora Recycling
18647 Eagle Ridge Rd.
Sonora, CA
When you drop it off, tell them the Chamber sent you, and they’ll place the proceeds from your recycling on our account to help fund this program.
Every eligible bottle, can, and bag of recycling helps support a practical, community-based effort to reduce the feral cat population in a humane way.
A Local Effort With Local Impact
This program is about neighbors helping neighbors solve a real local problem. It is one more way we can come together, support our community, and make a tangible difference close to home.
If you would like to support the program, start saving your CA CRV plastic, glass and aluminum recycling, use our contact form to let us know you have a load of recycling to pick up AND/OR take it to Sonora Recycling, and tell them the Chamber sent you.
VERY Important Note: We use Givebutter as our online payment processor. Givebutter is a boon to non-profits like ours as it allows us to conduct online transactions without passing along credit card and other payment processing fees to you… so, you pay the price of membership, and ONLY the price of membership. However, instead of charging us (or you), Givebutter asks for an optional processing fee and an optional tip that gets added to the transaction at checkout. The processing fee and tip are completely optional, but they are set to default non-zero amounts that the Chamber cannot change. You decide what you want to do… you can edit the processing fee and/or the optional tip amount before final checkout. Whichever choice you make, PLEASE make sure to check the final transaction amount in the summary on the right side of the checkout window before you proceed so you’re not surprised when you get your credit card statement. We cannot refund processing fees or tips, and all transactions are final.
