Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) The humane method of reducing cat overpopulation.
OUR MISSION: To ensure all homeless and domesticated cats are included in the "Circle of Compassion" through education, promotion and implementation of spay/neuter programs, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) - the humane method of reducing cat overpopulation.
ADOPTABLE KITTIES: All of our kitties are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and micro chipped. Currently, two for one special on all adoptions.
Are You Feeding Cats?
You've probably seen them gathered around dumpsters, in parking lots, or around your home. Homeless cats who flee from humans. These cats, referred to as "feral", are the result of the failure of people to spay or neuter their cats and cat abandonment. Rounding up and killing the victims of such negligence and indifference should NOT be a consideration. When feral cats enter a shelter, chances are they will never leave alive, simply because they are not adoptable. There is an alternative, it's called Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). This is an effective, internationally recognized program by which cats are trapped, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered.
One ear is painlessly tipped - the international sign they have been altered.
The adoptable cats are placed in foster homes for adoption
Ferals are returned to their original location.
A feral cat caregiver, usually a volunteer rescue worker, feeds and cares for the cats on a regular basis for the cats' lifetime. The resultant group of cats, including any new cats entering the caregiver's sphere, is known as a managed feral cat colony.
STRAY or FERAL
Feral is defined as "having returned to a wild state from domestication." Feral cats have generally been born in the wild, have had little to no human contact, causing them to develop a natural fear of humans, thereby reverting to a wild state. Not all cats in a colony are feral. Some may be strays who are lost or have been abandoned. If there's a possibility the cat is lost efforts should be taken to locate the owner. If unsuccessful, have it altered and place for adoption.
