From Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society, Inc.

MRFRS se fundó en 1992 en respuesta a la población de gatos callejeros en el noreste de Massachusetts. Para ayudar a estos gatos, nuestros voluntarios fueron pioneros en un programa de TNR y estaciones de alimentación que se convirtió en un modelo de éxito. En 2003 abrimos nuestro centro de adopción sin jaulas. En 2008 y 2012 lanzamos clínicas móviles de esterilización/castración para llegar a áreas desatendidas. En 2013, ayudaremos a más de 14.000 gatos y gatitos de más de 120 comunidades.
