The First Annual HCMT Flea Market Fundraiser!

Flea market August 22, 2020 to benefit Homeless Cat Management Team! 207 Allegheny Street, Tarentum PA 15084 from 8am - 2pm! Please come to support HCMT!

Thank You, PennyFix, Inc.!

Picture
With the support of PennyFix, Inc., over the summer of 2020, HCMT was able to provide sterilization procedures, rabies shots, flea treatment, ear mite treatment and FVRCP vaccinations to 50 cats!

One HCMT volunteer benefiting from the PennyFix supported sterilization clinic is working on a TNR project at a local trailer park. She first became aware of the trailer park’s need for help when a young cat was found with a fishing hook embedded through his eyelid. After multiple attempts, he was successfully trapped. While trying to trap this little one, the HCMT volunteer on site engaged with many residents who desperately asked for help.

Overall, there are around 50 cats at this site that HCMT will work to sterilize. With support from PennyFix, HCMT was able to get a jump start on this site and sterilize six cats.

Additional projects benefiting from PennyFix’s support include TNR on a local farm and numerous urban communities!

Thank you to the Pittsburgh Foundation

Thanks to The Pittsburgh Foundation for their awesome grant award to the Homeless Cat Management Team! As part of the grant we purchased 10 traps for trappers, 2 nets for the clinic and 1 infusion pump for use at the clinic. The 10 traps have been provided to various trappers to further HCMT's mission of spaying/neuter and vaccinating. The funding for this project was provided by the Ruth D. Simpson Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation.
