Pet Food Assistance Programs
- SVASC is proud to offer a Community Assistance Pantry, thanks to generous donors in the community. We are able to provide dry cat and dog food, along with other necessities, such as kitty litter, collars, and leashes. Please note that these items are provided based on donations, and therefore supply varies day-to-day. Email us at SVASC@co.augusta.va.us for more information on this program.

Trap - Neuter - Return
In a Trap-Neuter-Return program, community cats are humanely trapped (with box traps), brought to a veterinarian to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped (the universal sign that a community cat has been neutered and vaccinated), and then returned to their outdoor home.
