The RISPCA is pleased to announce the start of our new “Moms & Toms” program! “Moms & Toms” is the brainchild of Cathy Simonini, Olivia Warburton, and Lindsay A. Thibeault, D.V.M.  This program is for unaltered, owned cats with the aim of increasing access to routine veterinary care and decreasing the feline overpopulation. A cat can become part of our Moms and Toms program if it is an intact female cat that is pregnant or recently delivered a litter of kittens. The RISPCA will place the cat and her litter in foster care until the kittens are old enough to be weaned. At that time the female cat (or Mom!) will be spayed and returned to its home. The kittens will be surrendered to the RISPCA where they will be vaccinated and altered then adopted to loving families.  If the family also owns the intact male cat (or Tom!) the RISPCA will vaccinate and neuter the male cat and return him to his family as well. There is no cost to the owners of the intact adult cats and there is no qualification process beyond owning a pregnant cat!
