National Feral Cat Day

Today is National Feral Cat Day.  Support your local Trap, Neuter and Release program, or become a member and help out!
  Intelligence. Responsibility. Compassion. The use of these principles can assure integrity, whether it’s an individual and his choices or decision-makers such as members of a city council.
  On this National Feral Cat Day, consider how to control the population of cats in a community. Intelligence would involve learning about the proven methods to control these cats – trap, neuter, return and feral freedom programs. Responsibility would involve personally getting your pets spayed or neutered and committing to keep them for their lifetime, so you are not contributing to the problem. And if you don’t have the compassion to be a caregiver for feral cats, then be silent and let those who do care for them continue to provide that care.
  Rather than looking at these caregivers as a problem, see them as a part of the solution. Under their management, the population of cats decreases. The benefits of adopting these programs go beyond just decreasing cat numbers by saving your tax money. And don’t you want to live in a community that embraces compassion rather than prosecutes it? Advocate for the solution that works.

  Please help spread the word about feral cat colonies and how you can help.  You will be preventing millions of kittens and cats from being killed in the future.  Thank you.
