FOR ST. CROIX BUSINESSES & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
HUMANE CAT MANAGEMENT.
BETTER FOR YOUR PROPERTY.
R.E.A.L. Cruzan Cats helps St. Croix businesses create healthy, stable community-cat colonies through TNVR, practical colony management and ongoing support.
A LASTING SOLUTION
THE GOAL ISN'T TO REMOVE THE CATS.
IT'S TO STOP THE CYCLE.
Simply removing cats rarely solves the underlying problem. If food, shelter and territory remain, new cats can move into the newly available space and breeding begins again.
TNVR addresses reproduction at the source. Cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped for identification and returned to familiar territory. With responsible feeding and continued monitoring, colonies can become healthier, smaller and more stable over time.
GOOD ANIMAL WELFARE IS GOOD HOSPITALITY
YOUR GUESTS NOTICE THE CATS.
At hotels, resorts, restaurants and other visitor-facing properties, community cats are part of the environment guests encounter. Visitors notice when animals look sick, injured, hungry or uncared for—and concerned guests are often the people who first contact RCC.
A healthy, sterilized, well-managed colony creates a very different impression. Cats are monitored, new arrivals are addressed quickly, and mating-related behaviors such as fighting, yowling and spraying can be reduced.
For St. Croix's tourism businesses, humane colony management isn't only good animal welfare. It's good hospitality.
HEALTHY CATS.
HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES.
HOW IT WORKS
FROM CAT PROBLEM TO MANAGED COLONY.
TNVR
Our team coordinates humane trapping, transport, sterilization, vaccination, ear-tipping and recovery.
RETURN
Cats return to the territory they know, helping maintain a stable population rather than creating open territory for newcomers.
CARE
A designated caregiver provides appropriate food and water and becomes familiar with the cats who live on the property.
MONITOR
New cats, illness and injuries are identified quickly so problems can be addressed before reproduction starts again.
HUMANE MANAGEMENT IN ACTION
SUCCESS IS A STABLE COLONY.
205+documented TNVRs at St. Croix business and commercial locations since 2024
Our historical records did not always identify whether a TNVR location was a business or commercial property, so 205+ is a documented minimum rather than a complete historical total.
LONG-TERM COLONY MANAGEMENT
THE BUCCANEER
RCC has worked with this colony since our early years. A dedicated longtime caregiver continues to monitor and care for the cats, and relatively few new cats now require TNVR.

CONCENTRATED TNVR → ONGOING MONITORING
GRAPETREE BAY RESORT
After concentrated trapping and TNVR, the property has continued working with RCC. Relatively few new cats have needed intervention following the larger trapping effort.

ACTIVE COLONY MANAGEMENT
BCVS DOSPIVA / GALLOWS BAY
Ongoing trapping demonstrates the active-management stage: sterilize the existing population, identify newcomers and keep working toward a stable colony.
18documented TNVRs in 2025–2026
We have also documented TNVR work at:
Tamarind Reef · Carambola · Southgate Condos · Quality Food Market · Seaplane · Fort Augusta Condos · Tide Village Gas Station · Queen's Quarters Villas · Near North Side Storage · The Collective Collaboration / Cemetery · Welcome Gas Station · Beeston Hill Gym · Big Beard's Beach · Rhythms · Food Town · Tipsy Java · Sion Farm Gas Station · Villa Madeleine and other commercial locations across St. Croix.
BEYOND SPAY & NEUTER
TNVR IS THE FOUNDATION.
ONGOING CARE MAINTAINS IT.
Over the years, RCC has also rescued vulnerable kittens and helped sick or injured cats from commercial properties. Those cases can involve veterinary treatment, transportation, foster care and other costs beyond routine TNVR.
Under the new Business Services model, RCC can help coordinate appropriate care while encouraging the property to participate in the cost of caring for cats living there. Medical expenses beyond routine TNVR are handled separately.
STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING
BUSINESS TNVR RATES
Commercial services are fee-based. This helps keep donor-supported community TNVR assistance available for St. Croix residents who need financial help accessing spay/neuter.
1–4 CATS
$150/ cat
5–10 CATS
$125/ cat
11+ CATS
$100/ cat
Rates help cover spay/neuter, trapping and transport, fuel, trapping supplies, and maintenance and replacement of humane traps. Unusual veterinary needs or property-specific requirements can be discussed before work begins.
WHY MANAGE THE COLONY?

EVERY PROPERTY MATTERS.
Commercial properties can contain some of the island's largest community-cat colonies. When businesses sterilize and responsibly manage those cats, they become part of the island-wide solution.
