The Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program impedes the exponential growth rate common in feral colonies.
The Rescue Program employs an all-volunteer, foster-based network to remove young kittens (and an occasional friendly stray or abandoned house cat) from the community cat population. Rescued kittens and cats are socialized to humans, provided comprehensive vetting, and adopted into forever homes.
The Colony Support Program ensures the approximately 170 free-roaming cats living on 20+ commercial and industrial properties throughout Beltsville receive daily food and water, shelter, and emergency medical care throughout the year.
In support of all three programs BCC provides support and education to community members, colony caretakers, property owners, and property managers so that community cats can live harmoniously alongside homes and businesses in Beltsville.
