The Ferals of San Joaquin

Overview

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” - Gandhi

A local community of volunteers who have been working with the feral cat colonies of Tracy presents a gallery of portraits that carry an expression of love and commitment they have shared with the abandoned, hungry and voiceless. This project aims to help educate the public on a crisis that needs to be addressed and to inspire us all with the power for change. Visit the Exhibit on May 30, 2025, 5-7pm at The Tracy Animal Shelter: We welcome you to the event, sponsored by local individuals.

The feral cat population is in a crisis with many private citizens, including the elderly, paying thousands of dollars each year out of pocket on food and expensive vet bills. Meet the people in our community who manage feral colonies, while learning about the public programs to address the issue. Be inspired about what is possible when a thoughtful community comes together.

Sponsor a Portrait: A pre-purchase of a photograph printed professionally on canvas supports this exhibit and promotional expenses. Your name or business name will be displayed beautifully near the portrait as a sponsor of this public educational effort. Funds collected for the photos go toward out-of-pocket expenses volunteers spend to manage feral colonies, such as food, vet care and transportation. The signed portrait will be yours and available to be picked up one week after the exhibit or by other arrangement.
