Program accomplishments

  • MERRIMACK RIVER FELINE RESCUE SOCIETY'S ADOPTION PROGRAM FINDS LOVING HOMES FOR BOTH KITTENS AND ADULT CATS. SINCE INCEPTION IN 1992, WE HAVE PLACED OVER 25,000 CATS IN HOMES. MRFRS IS A "NO KILL" SHELTER AND COMMITS TO NEVER EUTHANIZE A FELINE DUE TO THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THEIR AGE; LACK OF SPACE IN THE SHELTER OR FOSTER HOMES; THE LENGTH OF STAY IN OUR CARE; OR FOR BEHAVORIAL REASONS. MRFRS WILL STILL PRACTICE HUMANE EUTHANASIA WHEN THE QUALITY-OF-LIFE PROGRNOSIS FOR A CAT IS NEGATIVE. MOST CATS ARE KEPT IN A CAGE-FREE ENVIRONMENT. CATS ARE ACCEPTED FROM SURROUNDING TOWNS WITHOUT REGARD FOR AGE OR HEALTH. WE ALSO ACCEPT ANY CAT THAT WE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED OUT THAT IS RETURNED TO US, REGARDLESS OF HEALTH OR AGE. GRANTS AND DONATIONS COVER THE COST OF VETERINARY CARE, VACCINATIONS, NEUTERING, FOOD AND SHELTER. WE OFFER EDUCATION FOR THE PUBLIC ON THE BENEFITS OF SPAYING/NEUTERING, AS WELL AS ON CAT BEHAVIORAL ISSUES.
