The Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society (MRFRS)
| About us | MRFRS was founded in 1992 in response to growth in the feral or homeless cat population along the Merrimack River in Newburyport. This growth resulted in widespread disease, malnutrition, and death in the feral cat population which endangered the health and well-being of Newburyport’s residential cat population. The MRFRS began a trap, neuter, and return (TNR) program for these cats in 1992 with feeding stations where the cats are fed twice a day. Today, we also operate a no-kill adoption center, a mobile low-cost spay/neuter clinics for owned cats called the Catmobile, and provide a monthly feral spay/neuter clinic. |
