CARMA is a volunteer non-profit, whose goal is controlling over-population through TNR programs. CARMA is not a shelter, nor do we perform animal control.


Our immediate goal is to humanely reduce the number of unwanted cats and kittens dying needless premature deaths and to place non-feral homeless cats and kittens in responsible homes. We accomplish this by operating TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs where colonies of stray, abandoned and feral cats exist under the care of a care giver. We also assist care givers in providing food, shelter and minor medical care for animals in their colonies.

Our longterm goals include supporting education to change attitudes regarding the importance of spay/neutering and working with other animal rescue groups to bring about legislation for the benefit of all animals.

We are in need of volunteers, fosterparents, donations and supplies. If you would like to contribute or provide us with feedback, please get in touch with us. We are a registered charity.

"If one female produces two litters per year, and if just two kittens per litter survive to reproduce, and none of these cats are ever spayed or neutered, the total population in five years, or 10 generations, multiplies to 59,049."
