ORCAT
ORCAT is Ocean Reef’s Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program for cats. Before the TNR began in the 1990s, thousands of cats overran the Ocean Reef community as the result of a rat-control program. While the rat population began to disappear, the cats became the new nuisance to property owners.
In an attempt to control the feral feline population, the community formed a spay and neuter clinic in 1995. The small clinic was successful from the beginning, as hundreds of cats were trapped and fixed. Around 1998, the number of kittens born dropped dramatically, along with complaints from homeowners.
In 2006, the cramped ORCAT clinic found a new spacious home when the Grayvik Animal Center opened thanks to a generous donation from the late Penny Stamps. The Grayvik Center now houses ORCATs, and provides veterinary services.
The ORCAT population is currently around 200. Every day, staff and volunteers visit over 70 feeding stations to care for all free-roaming felines. Cats who cannot return to the wild reside at the Grayvik Center, where they receive love, food, and veterinary care until finding their fur-ever home.
ORCAT is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable Trap-Neuter-Release organization supported solely by donations and fundraising events.
