Finding Help For Ill or Injured Cats

If the injured cat you’re reporting is part of a colony of stray cats that also need spay/neuter, please submit the form on our Trap/Neuter/Return page.

If you live within Bernalillo County there are animal care services available to help ill and injured free-roaming cats and we strongly encourage you to utilize them.

Options to Treat The Cat Yourself

If you want to adopt the cat as your own, whether bringing them indoors if they’re social or leaving them outdoors if they’re feral, you may prefer to treat the cat yourself so that you can make the decisions when it comes to the cat’s care. Treating the cat yourself does mean that you agree to pay the vet bill as well. We can recommend both VCA Wyoming Animal Hospital for normal business hours, as well as Route 66 Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care for 24/7 emergencies.
