Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society

To improve the lives of all cats and provide support and education for the people who care about them. About Us: MRFRS was founded in 1992 in response to growth in the feral or homeless cat population along the Merrimack River in Newburyport. 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. In 2009, Zorro, the last feral cat from the colony, passed away. Each year, we assist cats in need from over 100 towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  These are our programs: Adoption center in Salisbury, MA A feral trap, vaccinate, neuter, and release program A low-cost spay/neuter program operated by the Catmobile A foster home program for healthy and special needs cats and kittens A barn program for feral relocation
