Our Community Cats Program is the humane and effective way to reduce the number of cats living on the streets in Pima County. Community cats are the un-owned outdoor or feral cats who live in our neighborhoods.
Our Community Cats Program provides:
- Humane trapping of community cats, followed by spaying or neutering, vaccination and the return of cats to their communities. Over time, their numbers are reduced -- at no cost to the caretaker.
- Ear-tipping of spayed or neutered cats. A painless procedure, an ear-tip is the universal symbol of a spayed or neutered outdoor cat.
- Information on reducing cat-related issues. You can also view our handout on Discouraging Roaming Cats.

PACC Community Cats Program technicians are currently focusing their efforts on the top six zip codes of stray cat intake.
The targeted zip codes are:
85705
85706
85711
85713
85716
85746
Together, these zip codes comprise almost 60% of stray cat & kitten intake to PACC for 2019. The other approximately 40% of intake is spread amongst 30 other zip codes in Pima County.
At this time, trap loans and surgery funding will still be available for those who are located in other jurisdictional areas contracted with Pima Animal Care Center, but trap loans will be prioritized to serve those located in targeted areas.
For trapping help or for a trap loan, please contact us through our web form or (520) 724-5983.
