Feral Change is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping the Oakland community control and manage its feral and homeless cat population. Our success helps ensure the health of the community and consistent care of Oakland's neighborhood cats. We focus on TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) to spay and neuter free-roaming and feral cats in Oakland. Oakland, like many other cities, has thousands of feral and stray cats, these cats can breed rapidly, and where you might start with a couple cats, without intervention these two cats can soon become 10, and then 30, and then 60. 

​​

While our main focus is spay/neuter, we do also have a robust foster and adoption program which has grown over the years, and continues to grow! When we are helping the community with TNR we often come upon litters of kittens or friendly cats, we frequently will foster them and adopt them out (or work with partner organizations to move the kittens into other rescue adoption programs).
