The next Operation Cat feral-cat spay and neuter clinic will take place Tuesday at the headquarters of the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, at 124 Daniels Hole Road. Appointments are available at various times throughout the day, and can be made by calling 631-537-0400, extension 202.

Since its launch in 1997, according to ARF, Operation Cat volunteers have controlled feral populations by humanely trapping that animals so that they can be altered, vaccinated, and then released. More than 35,000 cats in feral colonies from Montauk to Brookhaven have been treated. More information is online at arfhamptons.org.
