Friends of Felines Hatteras Island — Supporting Cats Across Hatteras Island

About

During the spring of 2006, a passionate, determined group of caregivers for feral and community cats came together around a shared goal: helping the cats living in each of the seven villages on Hatteras Island. Friends of Felines-Cape Hatteras Island began with the purpose of serving the entire island.

Friends of Felines-Cape Hatteras Island received non-profit, charitable organization 501 (c) (3) status in 2009. Since that time, the organization has pursued grants and donations to sustain its trap, neuter, vaccinate, microchip and return program (TNR). It also helps low-income Hatteras Island residents obtain spay/neuter services and medical care for the cats they shelter and feed.

Hatteras Island is estimated to have over 3,000 free-roaming cats. Through the work of committed volunteers and caregivers, along with ongoing financial support from its supporters, Friends of Felines-Cape Hatteras Island hopes to ultimately achieve its vision of humanely managing the feral/community cat population on Hatteras Island.

An eartip is the universal sign that a cat has been spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Feral and community cats receive an eartip when they undergo spay/neuter procedures and vaccination. This successful program is called TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return).
