🐾 Happy Labor Day! 🐾
Today, First Coast No More Homeless Pets is closed in honor of the holiday, so we’re taking a short pause from trapping.

We’re so grateful for their incredible support of community cats through Rosie’s Community Cat Fund. Thanks to Rosie’s generosity, countless cats in Jacksonville are able to get the care they need—spay/neuter, vaccines, and a chance at a healthier, safer life.

As we rest today, we’re reminded of the amazing work that happens when a community comes together—donors, organizations, and volunteers—all working for a future with fewer homeless pets. 💛

Happy Labor Day from our team to yours!

What is Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)?

TNR is the humane and effective way to reduce outdoor cat overpopulation.

🔹 Trap – Cats are humanely trapped using safe cages.
🔹 Neuter/Spay & Care – Each cat gets surgery, vaccines, flea treatment, and an ear tip (the universal sign they’ve been fixed).
🔹 Return – Cats are released back to their outdoor home, now healthier and no longer able to reproduce.

💡 Why it matters:
✔️ Stops the endless cycle of kittens.
✔️ Reduces overcrowding in shelters.
✔️ Improves community health and safety.
✔️ Helps cats live longer, healthier lives.

✨ With TNR, everyone wins — the cats, the community, and the shelters.

🙏 If you’d like to support this mission, know that just $25 covers a cat’s spay/neuter, vaccines, flea prevention, and ear tip. This is the link to the go fund me page: https://gofund.me/7ff6641b
