Thank you for an amazing year!

Huge THANK YOU to everybody who helped SOKS in 2025. It was our best year so far! Here are the highlights:

·       937 cats spayed/neutered. Amazing!

·       SOKS volunteers did educational outreach: we loaned traps to residents teaching them how to safely and humanly catch stray and feral cats; we also taught a community class about the trap-neuter-release process.

·       SOKS volunteers helped with transportation to veterinary clinics when people could not take the cats themselves because of health or work-related issues.

·       We found foster homes for cats recovering from medical treatments or kittens too young for adoption. In many cases, SOKS volunteers took the animals into their own homes!

Of course, none of that would be possible without donations which paid for vet fees, medicine, food, gas, equipment, etc. Thank you to our faithful donors: Adrienne, Dogwood Animal Rescue Project, Dolores, Fund 54, Michael, Nancy, Paula, Robert, Thomas, Vicky, Whiskers & Meows.

We are also grateful for help provided by the following organizations:

·       Stockton Animal Shelter

·       Sacramento Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

·       Animal Protection League

·       Abandoned Cat Team

Last but not least, I am grateful for a wonderful group of SOKS core trappers: Barbara, Judy, Vicky, Jeanann, Elizabeth, Tammy, Silvia, Kelly and Monica. I wouldn't be able to do it without you!

Thank you to the many volunteers who took it upon themselves to care for and feed the feral cat colonies in our communities.

You all make a difference. Thank you!
