Welcome
Help us help the homeless cats/kittens in Brevard
We are the original T-N-R (trap-neuter-return) organization in Brevard County, FL. We began our spay/neuter mission in 1998.
Our History
Space Coast Feline Network started TNR at Cape Kennedy in 1998. NASA gave SCFN a building to hold trapped cats/kittens in until they could be spayed/neutered and/or adopted/relocated. Eventually that building was needed by NASA & they gave SCFN a grant to build our own feral cat shelter, which is currently under reconstruction due to Hurricane Ian damage (we are NOT accepting new cats). The next big TNR project SCFN tackled was the Port & Jetty Park, where close to 200 cats were TNR'd, with friendlies put up for adoption. To this day, we still have a managed group of volunteers who care for very few cats left in Jetty Park.
We have always had a helpline to answer questions about homeless cats & colonies. From 1998 till February 2021, we held monthly, then bi-monthly all volunteer, low/no-cost spay/neuter clinics for cats/kittens. The Covid pandemic slowed our progress until October 2023, when we partnered with the SPCA Adoption Shelter in Titusville to
hold 2 clinics & sterilized 96 cats/kittens. We have had 4 more clinics in 2024 & have one 11/10/24.
We hope to continue with 4-6 more spay/neuter clinics in 2025 & have partnered with Daphne Cats, Inc. & the SPCA for 6+ more in 2025 (for a total of 10).
Since 1998, we have spayed/neutered more than 20,000 cats/kittens.
Where can I get a cat/kitten spayed/neutered for free or at a reduced cost?
The clinics we recommend will sterilize a kitten that weighs minimum 2 pounds. We suggest they be closer to 2-1/2 pounds due to side effects of FVRCP vaccines.
FREE had been available for pet cats at Brevard Humane Society (Cocoa) & Brevard Spay/Neuter Clinic (Palm Bay) thru the Daphne Foundation. However they are now Daphne Cats, Inc. & are making changes to what they can help with to stay financially operable. Prices at BHS & BSNC are still MUCH LOWER than private vets.
