Open Sands Kitty Rescue (OSKR) was founded with the primary mission to address the overpopulation of cats in Panama City Beach. As such, the majority of our focus is TNR (Trap, Neuter and Spay, Return) of feral and stray cats. We coordinate with other residents and share our knowledge and supplies so that others can join the cause.
Thank you for your interest in TNR. It is the only proven, humane and effective response to the overpopulation of feral cats.
Please complete the application and we will respond.
