Global Cat Day
On October 16th, the nation's non-lethal feline services are on display. At a much faster rate than any other shelter animal, cats, and kittens face euthanization. However, services such as trap, neuter, and release (TNR) are enabling cats to live full and healthy lives right in our communities.
#globalcatday
TNR programs are designed to reduce shelters and overall colony populations around the country. Feral and stray cats are trapped in TNR programs, which are trapping feral and stray cats. They are then neutered and vaccinated under the care of a veterinarian. Their ears are tipped to indicate that they have been neutered. Then the cat is released back into the neighborhood where they were captured.
Long-term studies around the country show that not only does the population declines, but the cats live out their lives healthier. In addition, these services save taxpayers money over time.

Adoption doesn't always work, which is why adoption doesn't always work
Feral cats – cats that have never had human contact – don't seem to be able to relate well with humans. They will always be feral and unable to be adopted, and they will never be able to be adopted. Feral cats prefer the wild. They have the best chance of living side by side with humans thanks to a TNR program.
However, adoption is also a viable option for stray cats and kittens under the age of 12 weeks. If you are looking for a pet of your own, visit your local shelter if you are looking for a pet of your own.
