Free trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program for stray community cats. Each cat gets combo disease testing, spay or neuter surgery, all vaccinations including FeLV, and a microchip. Volunteer trappers and colony caretakers use Merced SPCA appointments; members of the public with stray cats use partner vet appointments in Turlock, which have more open days.
