Strategies and Resources:
The Nobody’s Cats Foundation promotes the adoption of Trap Neuter Return (TNR) as the preferred
strategy for humanely stabilizing and reducing free-roaming domestic feline populations in south-central
PA. This approach prevents suffering among the cats, protects public health, reduces stress on wildlife, and
enables communities to redirect desperately needed resources elsewhere.
TNR is virtually universally acknowledged as the primary tool for reducing the overpopulation of domestic
felines. Momentum to implement TNR in our community has grown dramatically in the past few years and
we want to build on that momentum by providing access to the knowledge and resources necessary to
implement TNR.
We estimate that approximately 355,000 free-roaming cats exist in our region. Through our various
strategies, we hope to help the regional community realize spaying or neutering of 80 percent of the
existing unaltered free-roaming domestic feline population by 2022. Whether you love or loath domestic
cats, you have a stake in our collective success. TNR works by interrupting reproduction so that individual
animals can no longer replace themselves many times over.
TNR Works!

| Nobody’s cats are everybody’s cats. |
| The Nobody’s Cats Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that promotes the adoption of Trap Neuter Return (TNR) as the preferred strategy for humanely stabilizing and reducing free-roaming domestic feline populations in eight south-central Pennsylvania counties (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York). Its strategies include creating a culture of ownership of free-roaming cat colonies, encouraging owner caretakers to implement benchmarked TNR standards of care, and providing a high volume of spay/neuter surgeries through a dedicated surgery clinic for free-roaming cats. The official registration and financial information of The Nobody's Cats Foundation may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll-free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement. |
| SPECIAL THANKS to Myers Floors and Interiors of Littlestown for installing hospital-grade, seamless vinyl flooring in our new surgery suite! The folks at Myers are long-time supporters of spay/neuter programs in our area and we are proud that they want to play a role in our clinic. http://www.myersfloors.net/ |
| We're moving forward with our surgery clinic! Most all of our equipment has arrived and been installed, including washer and dryer, refrigerator, surgery and work tables, surgery lighting, and cabinetry. We've welcomed Amy Wagner as our clinic manager and have begun the interviewing process for our professional veterinary staff. Meanwhile, a number of local vets and techs have agreed to help us out with a few small clinics so we can be sure we've crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's. Our food bank will open in June conjunction with our first dry and canned cat food drive and we've started loaning traps for TNRers using other services in the area. Keep posted! 3909 Hartzdale Dr. Suite 905 Camp Hill, PA |
| Special THANKS to LH Brubaker and Roger Fletcher for significant savings on our appliance purchases! http://www.lhbrubakerappliances.com/landing |
| Closer every day to making it happen: our surgery tables, surgery lighting and prep tables are ready to go. Next up: installation and testing of anesthesia machines, preparation of surgery tool packs and scheduling of volunteer and sub contract vets and techs to start "beta" testing our systems and processes. |
| Volunteer Peter van der Meij, who has helped with many construction projects over the past few months, puts the final touches on our surgery suite workstation and cabinets. |
