What's Up

In loving memory of Midnight

Born homeless sixteen years ago, beloved cat passed away September 25, 2023.

Rescued as a feral sixteen years ago, Midnight was an amazing companion to his adopter, and we all share her grief in the loss of the magnificient creature. As a skilled TNR feral cat advocate, she blessed Midnight through humane trapping and then adoption. His adopter on her own has trapped 66 cats, and reports each one is forever etched in her memory. Blessed by this creature’s companionship, she in turn has blessed other cats in Midnight's situation with her gifts. Those gifts have helped us to spay many > save even more. Thanks to Midnight's life, we are beating back feline suffering and overpopulation, especially among feral cats. We'll be doing our next scheduled spay day in memory of this handsome Tuxedo cat. Watch for that date!

Why not put down your device for at least five minutes right now and hold something live like a precious pet? No telling when they will be gone from your arms.
Lift up your eyes from your phone to see the great beauty of the Earth, and then give thanks for the blessings known as pets.

spay one > save thousands.

Too much of a good thing!

Cats are just about the most prolific reproducers on the planet.

If a stray cat shows up at your house, get him or her fixed. Call your vet THAT DAY to schedule.

Even if the cat is already bred, fixing her right then to avoid a situation like this photo is the most humane action.

If you cannot afford to fix your cat, we'll likely be able to get him or her fixed for you at low cost of maybe even free. But call us when there is ONE cat please. A pregnant cat shows up at your home, we can fix her quickly. But if you insist the world needs more cats and allow her to deliver, that will cost 5-8 times more!--if she survives pregnancy and delivery and a few kittens live too. Unless you can pay that, consider the consequences of not fixing your cat, letting it get to this degree of overpopulation, which is an economic disaster for an owner or a charity like ours, and a frightful painful mess for the cats.

Thanks to all who helped!

We made more progress against feline overopulation and suffering with a spay day on Sunday October 1! The cats send their thanks to all the volunteers and the veterinarian who helped them live happier and healthier lives! If you can help us help more cats, like these who live with a family in a tent, please call 662-292-0922. We need funds and volunteers!

"Our thanks to HARP! There is no way we would have been able to get them fixed without HARP!" exclaimed this family.

HARP fixed these cats who live with a family that lives in a tent.

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.

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.
