Nobody’s cats are everybody’s cats.

Strategies & Resources:

Our four major strategies and some of the ways we hope to implement them:

1. Create a culture of “ownership” of free-roaming cat colonies by individuals,

businesses, volunteer groups, youth groups, municipal bodies, and others.

Through on-line resources, public presentations, and use of the news and social

media, we seek to raise awareness of the prevalence of free-roaming cats, the causes

and consequences of their presence, and how humane action by affected parties can

create significant short- and long-term benefits.

Encourage owner caretakers to implement Trap Neuter Return programs based on

benchmarked policies and procedures.

By creating and providing fact sheets, instructions, and other resources derived from

respected national peer sources and tailored to our region we hope to promote the

acceptance of standard and effective approaches. We also will link caretaker owners

surgical services provided by other TNR programs offered through local non-profit

agencies and the foundation’s surgery clinic and will reward and promote success

with an

annual award program for colony owner caretakers.

3. Coordinating and funding high-value, measurable Trap Neuter Return projects.

We will focus on definable, measurable projects to create results that promote similar

projects. Combining the efforts of multiple organizations and governmental and

private

bodies for comprehensive and sustained results.

Creating and funding a network of dedicated Trap Neuter Return spay/neuter

surgery

clinics to provide a high volume of Trap Neuter Return surgeries for free-

roaming cats to

the community.

We will focus on a high volume of from 200-300 TNR surgeries and related services

weekly using highly qualified and motivated paid staff in a modern permanent clinical

setting. We also will engage local veterinarians and technicians to augment results

with

volunteer surgical clinics. Services will be offered at a low cost of $25 per cat and

will

include at a minimum altering, ear tipping, and rabies vaccination.
