Organizations like Alley Cat Allies and Friends For Life have long been proponents of TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts. Friends For Life does this in Houston via the Fix Houston™ program – a one of a kind public-private partnership in Houston that works to educate members of the community and focuses TNR efforts on the zip codes with the highest kill rates of community cats.
Alley Cat Allies put together the below information to help inform people about how the traditional method of “catch and kill” does not work, why it doesn’t work, and the alternative that has proven effective for community cats, their neighbors, tax payers, and cities.
After hearing from animal control agencies and municipalities, TNR proponents have put together basic TNR guidelines to help those who are looking to implement a TNR program.
