CATSS is a non-profit organization in Oberlin, Ohio, with a mission of preventing births of stray cats, while improving the lives of those cats who have no home. The donation-funded, volunteer-operated organization's primary purpose, among other activities, is to keep the feral cat populations under control through a system of trapping, neutering, and returning (TNR) local feral cats to their original locations while providing ongoing care to them.

Trapping Session this Wednesday!

Community Action to Save Strays (CATSS) is sponsoring a free feral cat trapping class at the Oberlin Public Library craft room on Wednesday, September 21 at 6:00 PM. We will go over the basic steps of how to successfully trap a cat that you have determined is homeless, how to sign up to borrow a humane trap from CATSS, what to do when you have trapped an animal, and answer any questions you may have. We will show you how to set up and bait a trap, and how to safely release an unintended capture (raccoon, opossum, woodchuck, neighbor cat). It happens.
