About Us
The Union City Feral Cat Committee (UCFCC) is a non profit organization (501c3) made up of cat loving volunteers who feed, care, trap, neuter and return (TNR) the homeless cats of our neighborhoods. The mission of our group is caring for the homeless cats (feral and adoptable) of Union City and adjacent towns through TNR, vaccination, veterinary care, and adoptions. We care for homeless cats as much as we care about our families.
-We place more cats in homes than any other Hudson County group: 107 cats in homes per year, on average over the last three years, in the middle of the crisis of our lifetime, without a location, and with zero funding from any organization.
-Our adoptions are increasing significantly: 21 cats placed in homes in April 2023. We are at a pace to place more than 150 cats in homes in 2023.
-Even though we do not have a location, we foster most pregnant cats and most kittens we find . We will place more than 90 kittens in homes in 2023.
-We provide free homes to all friendly cats we or anyone finds in any city, provided the rescuer feeds at PetSmart once per week until the cat is in a home and fosters the cat.
-We spent more $300,000 of our own money helping the cats.
- We feed more than 70 colonies every night.
-All our income and expenses and receipts are available 24/7 to everybody.
-No UCFCC member has ever nor will be paid for helping the cats.
-We have more than 300 members.
-We are the only group with cats at North Bergen PetSmart, which allows us to find homes to all friendly cats.
-We have operated continuously for more than 11 straight years, since 2012.
