Community Cats

Community cats are defined as un-owned cats whose “home” is within the community rather than in an individual household. A community cat can be a friendly cat that is well socialized, a fearful or shy cat, or a feral cat that will hide from people. Some of our community cats are fed by residents and some may scavenge for food. In Miami-Dade County there are more than 300,000 homeless cats. Cats can start breeding at four months of age and can have up to four liters a year with up to six kittens a litter.

All healthy, community cats older than two months and heavier than two pounds can be spayed/neutered at no cost (ear tip is mandatory) at the Miami-Dade County Community Spay Neuter Clinic at 10700 SW 211 street in Cutler Bay, FL 33189.

Community cats may be dropped-off between 7:00 am-10:00 am Tuesday-Saturday – no appointment needed. The Free sterilization service includes a FVRCP vaccination, a rabies vaccination if the cat is four months and or four pounds or older, and a left eartip
