Metro
Ferals, Inc.
Metro Ferals, an all-volunteer organization established
in 1997, was established to reduce the suffering of feral cats and kittens
by promoting a non-lethal alternative to the feral cat population , specifically “TNR”,
Trap-Neuter-Return, in Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland.
Young kittens are socialized and adopted through their adoption program. Feral
cats are returned to their “home”, where they are managed
by their caretaker. They run a low cost spay/neuter clinic for
feral cats and provide assistance to people wishing to trap, neuter,
and return the cats they feed and maintain.
