Karma says she and her fellow trustees encourage car owners to act quickly and get their pet desexed soon.
"The cat breeding season will be in full force again in a couple of months. Plus, all cats desexed through this programme over the next three months will also get a free worm and flea treatment for their cat as well."
Karma says the cat desexing programme, which covers both make and female cats, will only run while funds are available, so people should apply soon.
The eligibility rules are straightforward, she says.
Owners need to live in the South Taranaki or Stratford District and hold either a current Community Services Card or a Gold Card. The cat must be five months or older and be people friendly - able to be easily and safely handled by the veterinary team.
Kittens such as Yoko are available for adoption through The Scratching Post, which is operated by the Stratford Companion Animal Assistance Trust.
"We strongly advocate the need for pets to be desexed in order to reduce the number of unwanted animals and overpopulation of cats in the community."
Yoko was a stray kitten, found at six weeks old and is now ready for adoption, says Karma.
"She has been in a multi cat/dog foster home so is well socialised. She is about 10 weeks old now, has been desexed, vaccinated, treated against fleas and worms, vet health checked and litterbox trained."
Anyone wanting to apply for the scheme, or interested in adopting Yoko or another kitten, can contact The Scratching Post on 027 292 6167 or via Facebook "The Scratching Post – Stratford". Open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 10am until 2pm.
