Through this new program we assist local neighborhood community (feral) cat colony caregivers by using “Trap, Neuter, Release” (TNR) to spay and neuter animals in the colony they care for. This not only reduces the unwanted pet and community cat population, but it also helps to reduce the spread of illness among companion animals. It helps reduce the number of animals relinquished at shelters, which often results in unnecessary euthanasia of healthy animals because of shelter overcrowding. Research shows that TNR stabilizes the size of cat colonies while still providing neighborhoods with much needed rodent control. Research and further information about TNR can be found online at Alleycat.org
