We are often contacted to help with
pregnant, stray cats and we are happy
to help when we can. Hoochie Mama was
allowed to raise these beautiful kittens
until they were old enough to be adopted.
Then Mama was spayed and adopted into
a forever home. |
Learn about a grassroots
program called TNR
or Trap Neuter Return. Please read
more about this humane solution to the overpopulation
of cats in our area.
The topics listed
below encompass all aspects of managing a
feral (wild) cat colony and implementing
TNR. While aimed specifically at caretakers
working in New York City, much of the information
will apply anywhere there are feral cats and
people who want to help them. If you have cats
in your back yard the following links will give
you a trove of information regarding TNR.

Neighborhood
Cats was formed in 1999 to
promote trap-neuter-return ("TNR")
as the most humane and effective means
of solving New York City's severe feral
cat overpopulation crisis. Their goal is
to establish TNR as the preferred method
of feral cat control and, ultimately, to
substantially reduce the number of cats
born and living on our city's streets. The
links below will take you to the Neighborhood
Cats website.
