This kitty is benefiting from the one of the most thriving free-roaming cat programs in the nation, thanks to a lot of communication and collaboration among municipal and private animal agencies and their boards, volunteers, local government officials, the veterinary community and the public in Charleston County, SC.

Nancy also noticed the equipment that this ACO is using—a feral cat den, which is a safe, user-friendly, humane and “hands-free” way to transfer and manage the community cats in this program.

I do like the cat box/den they are using...is it not one of those where you don't have to handle the kitty as much/more easily? And gives cats a place to hide in larger spaces too? I have never actually seen one in the flesh (plastic). I have only used the wire live traps and regular carriers. I wish I could comment more, but have only done a bit of work with these cats...and would love to do more! Releasing Community Cats after spay/neuter…0 to 60 in a heartbeat!
