BOLO Alert! BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THis treasure!
It could be yours!
This exquisite jeweled artwork was created by Sharon, one of our long time volunteers. She's generously donated it to help cats! Made from those earrings and necklaces and jewelry pieces we've all lost, and lots more fanciful but beloved costume jewelry that was lost or found or donated, this is a stunning addition to your home or business decor. It is just about guaranteed to make you and others smile every time you feast your eyes on it — holidays or not. It measures 18.5" x 22.5" and will attract eyes and admiration wherever it is displayed. Sharon titles it Pear Tree, because it has one pear on it and about 30+ pairs of jewels too.
We'll be offering it up for bidding soon, please BOLO for this treasure and be prepared to make a big generous offer because 100% of the winning bid goes to help cats. Thanks again to Sharon for offering her talents and this labor of love to help less fortunate cats.
Honor canines on National dog day!
August 26, 2023
Celebrate our canine companions today, August 26, 2023! If you want a dog, check a public shelter first. Remember in the heat of summer all pets must have access to shade & fresh water. MS state law requires that pets have food, water, shelter, and needed medical care. Never leave a pet or person in a car in the summer while you shop or run errands. Too hot for you, too hot for them. Hug a dog today!
INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY IS AUGUST 8, 2023!
This day is meant to raise awareness of issues affecting cats, including health and overpopulation. Celebrate the beauty of cats and take a moment to cuddle with a cat this day. No cat? Volunteer with us or at your local shelter or animal welfare agency.

Helping feral and homeless cats at two trailer parks — volunteers and donations needed.
We've started working on two different large feral and homeless cat colonies who need help. We got 33 cats fixed August 7, 8, but there are more to be done. If you are able to help trap and transport please call 662-292-0922. If you are not able to help, please consider a donation. No cat can choose not to breed, only we can do that for them. These are photos of some of the cats you'll be helping!
HARP in Action: 25 cats fixed July 20, 2023!
Cats finish their day with freedom from breeding/litters, and improved health!
Thanks to the volunteers who organized this labor of love to get 25 cats gathered up, herded into carriers ,and transported to surgery! If you've ever tried to get your cat to the vet, you know that can be challenging in itself even when not multiplied by 25! Litters prevented, lives saved, homes more secure now that there will be no litters.
We fix cats fast so our funds go fast. Remember that no cat has ever made the choice not to breed or litter. Only WE can make that choice for them. Please consider a donation to help us stop litters. Most kittens in our area are born outdoors, where their death rate is about 75% (nih.gov) from trauma, predation, and disease. Please help us stop this unimaginable suffering with a donation today. Use Venmo (HARP1), CashAPP ($HARP0922) or pay.homelessanimalsreliefproject.org! Or scroll down for a PayPal link.

Summer Solstice: June 21, 2023
Celebrate the Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year; the sun will shine longer today than any other day in the year. For Homeless Animals Relief Project volunteers and cats, we celebrate: It marks a downturn in frequency of female cats' heat cycles, which means breedings & fights to breed will start to decline, and that means fewer litters, less trauma, less sickness as we move into fall and winter. Conversely, at the Winter Solstice in December, those hormones will reawaken and we'll start to see the breeding cycle resume in January, resulting in the annual kitten tsunami every spring and summer.
Enjoy the natural rhythms of Mother Nature! But always fix your cats so they don't have to live and breed in cycles. No cat can make a choice to not litter or fight for breeding rights. Only we can do that for them. Even with solstice cycles, the best day to get your cat's surgery scheduled is today.
Cats live and breed according to nature's cycles. They cannot stop that. Only we can.

Never give away kittens for free. They may fall victim to cruelty. They likely will be a part of pet overpopulation.

Lovingly hand made by volunteers, these feral cat humane trap covers help reduce stress for trapped feral cats. Feral cats are less fearful when they feel they are well hid than when exposed.
