como critters - community care & compassion

Born from a deep love for animals and a shared desire to enhance animal welfare in our community, Como Critters was founded on Memorial Day weekend in 2022 by a group of compassionate neighbors. Faced with the plight of the community cats roaming our yards and streets, affectionately known as Como Critters, we came together with a mission to make a difference.

Over the past twenty-four months, our organization has flourished, fueled by our unwavering dedication to our cause. In that time, we've had the privilege of extending a helping hand to over 2800 cats and counting, making a profound impact on the lives of both our furry friends and our community.

Our success is a testament to the tireless efforts of our officers, board members, and dedicated volunteers, who hail from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience and passion to our organization. Some are newcomers to our community, drawn by a shared vision of creating positive change, while others are lifelong residents with deep roots in the area.

Together, our voices form a powerful chorus, representing a significant portion of our local community united in our quest to address the community cat overpopulation crisis with humane, ethical, science backed solutions. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and progress, we strive to implement effective change through our progressive programs focused on community outreach, engagement, and long-term commitment.

As we reflect on our journey thus far, we are filled with gratitude for the unwavering support of our members, volunteers, and community partners. Together, we will continue to work tirelessly to create a brighter future for our beloved community and its cherished critters.

At Como Critters, our mission is to provide compassionate care and support for animals of all species in need, while also addressing the urgent issue of community cat overpopulation through groundbreaking Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) programs in our communities.  

We are passionate about preventing future animal suffering through proactive measures. Our low-cost clinics and wellness services include neutering, and vaccination programs, microchipping, preventative care and sick visits.  We aim to empower pet owners and promote responsible pet ownership. 

Central to our mission is our commitment to community cat overpopulation control through TNVR initiatives. By implementing humane and effective methods to manage free-roaming cat populations, we aim to reduce the number of homeless cats while improving their quality of life. 

At Como Critters, we believe that every animal deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life. Through our comprehensive approach to animal welfare, we strive to create a more compassionate and sustainable future for animals and humans alike though advocacy and education.
