Altered Feral State - Bethlehem Pet Shelter

Altered Feral State is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization made up of volunteers dedicated to reducing the feral cat population through the only non-lethal method that is proven to work. That method is known as TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). What is a feral cat? A feral cat is an unsocialized cat who avoids human contact. Either it was born outside and never lived with a human family, or it is a pet cat that has strayed from home, and over time, has thrown off the effects of domestication and reverted to a wild state. When pet cats are forced to fend for themselves because they are abandoned or accidentally lost, huge numbers die from exposure, starvation or accidents. The survivors often turn feral and, if they are not sterilized, give birth to feral kittens. The cycle continues. Often well meaning people begin by feeding a cat that shows up in the yard. Before they know it, there are many cats and the whole thing gets out of hand. While it is wonderful that people care enough to want the cats to have food, it is essential that the cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated before the breeding starts. Most people simply can’t afford to have a large number of cats spayed and neutered - the cost is overwhelming. Altered Feral State has been organized to assist the caregivers in many ways so they can continue to care for the cats they love and not have to worry about ever increasing numbers.
