Mazza Recycling and MCSPCA Partnership Leads to A Safer Home for Feral Cats in Tinton Falls
TINTON FALLS, NJ, August 9, 2021 – Mazza Recycling, a leading waste management and recycling company in New Jersey, recently introduced a feral cat colony to their Tinton Falls facility, in partnership with the Monmouth County SPCA (MCSPCA). The designated area of Mazza Recycling’s 55-acre facility houses a secluded cat shed, food, water, and bedding that will provide a safe haven for the dozens of homeless cats currently living on-site at the recycling center.

The MCSPCA began the partnership with Mazza Recycling at the start of summer 2021, through their Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program. The MCSPCA has taken a leadership role in implementing a program specifically addressing the burgeoning feral cat population in a humane way. Feral cats are trapped, spayed, or neutered, and returned to the community to live in managed colonies. Kittens and “friendly” stray cats are put up for adoption at the MCSPCA, immediately reducing the population of feral cats in the community. Mazza Recycling is the first corporation in Monmouth County to take part in the MCSPCA program and use the resources at their disposal to build a home for ferals.

Monmouth County Commissioner and Executive Director of the MCSPCA, Ross Licitra states, “It is only fitting that one of our largest county businesses, Mazza Recycling, who has set a bench mark on ‘green’ initiatives with their innovative recycling facility, would be so in tune to the idea of helping control the community cat problem by establishing a colony on their grounds to save lives, stop over breeding, and control rodent population by natural means.”
 
To date, the MCSPCA have trapped, spayed, neutered and vaccinated 8 cats from Mazza Recycling’s property and will continue to set traps on their property in the next coming months.
