Who We Are and What we do
Catspan ferals is a group of volunteers originating from Nanoose Bay nearly 30 years ago, now covering central Vancouver Island. We care for local abandoned, homeless and feral felines, spaying, neutering, vaccinating feeding and monitoring their wellbeing.
CatSpan has been caring for feral and stray cats in the Oceanside area and on Vancouver Island since 1990. The organization came into being when a group of local women discovered a colony of 40 feral cats living at a Nanoose Bay marina. Rather than continue to add to the problem by only feeding them, (which would increase the population even faster) they formed CatSpan and began to raise money to spay/neuter the cats. Over time, all of these cats were spayed/neutered and cared for until Heba, the last cat, died at the unbelievable old age of 18 years.
Each cat CatSpan traps and neuters/spays is also tested for disease, treated for parasites, tattooed and vaccinated.
CatSpan is a volunteer-based non-profit registered charity who relies solely on donations and fundraising events. 100% of all proceeds go directly to cat care.
