About Us
Putnam Felines, Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization working to help stray and feral cats in Putnam County. We believe that the problem of cat over-population will not be solved by adoption alone. Shelters are full and private adoption groups are unable to keep up with the demand for their services. We are practicing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) because we believe it is the most effective and humane way of controlling feral and stray cat populations and protecting wildlife.
Upcoming Adoption Days *NEW DATE!!*:
More of our adorable kittens and certified pre-owned adult felines will be ready to meet the public!
- Animal Kingdom in the Home Depot/Kohl's shopping center in Brewster on Saturday, August 9th, from 11:00 am to 2:00pm.
We are looking for foster homes. If you would like to provide a temporary home for one or more of our cats and kittens, please call us or email.

How We Do It
Stray and feral cats are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated against rabies, and sterilized by a veterinarian. Unadoptable cats are returned to their familiar habitat where our volunteers provide long-term care including food, shelter, and monitoring of the health of the members of the colony. Ongoing observation ensures that all newcomers to the colony will be sterilized to allow the colony to naturally shrink over time. Friendly cats are placed in foster homes to be adopted out to caring families.
