362 TRAPPED in 2017!
THANKS TO TOH TNR PROGRAM
Are you feeding a cat(s) or do you know someone who is?
In order to prevent kittens being born, please TRAP NEUTER and RETURN these cats. This site provides information about free or low-cost TNR services and colony management (shelter, feeding etc).
If you feed the cat for more than TWO days, consider the cat to be depending on you for food and care. You need to sterilize the cat ASAP.
Feeding and caring, for a colony of one cat or more, is a long term commitment. Please take a moment to consider the financial and emotional commitment you will be undertaking when you begin to feed that cat. The cat may live an average of six years and, in addition to daily food and water, may need vet care. The longer you care for the cat, the more the cat relies on you. And what will happen to the cat if you can no longer care for the cat? Having a back-up plan, (neighbors, friends etc), in case you become ill or sell the property, would ensure the continuity of care for the cats. Also consider your emotional involvement. Most feeders become attached to the cats but since you are not able to control and protect the cat, this can be quite stressful.
Hopefully, this site will provide some tips and help for the generous care-givers of the ferals.
