Programs
In addition to our most noticable program - adoptions - MetroWest has a number of programs to care for cats in a variety of other ways. Some benefit the cats already at the shelter, some help those who are living outside, and some help the caregivers of the animals not at the shelter.
Barn Cat Program
There are some cats that come to us now, in the age of T-N-R, that cannot go back to the location from which they came.
Community OutreachThe MetroWest Humane Society has a community outreach program for people who need assistance to adequately feed the cats in their care.
Foster Care ProgramOur foster care providers are pre-screened volunteers who take cats and/or kittens into their homes after they have had their initial medical evaluation.
Socialization ProgramWe have a group of dedicated volunteers who provide one-on-one socialization to help our less trusting and socialized cats.
Spay Neuter AssistanceThis is a subsidized service for clients in financial need who might otherwise be unable to afford this important spay/neuter service for their pets.
Sponsor-A-CageFor a variety of reasons some of the cats in our care may never have the opportunity to experience a home of their own. When they have a cage sponsor, they receive love and compassion so they know they are not unwanted.
Trapping & TNRMWHS is one of the few shelters that provides this highly sought-after service. Over 50% of the calls to the shelter relate to feral cats and kittens.
