    Local Humane Society setting up new TNR program

    I want to start out by saying what a great group of rescuers there are here at Pet Talk. It makes me happy to see so many people involved in rescuing cats!

    I am on the Board of Directors of our local Humane Society. Another board member and I have convinced the group to begin a TNR program for the city. We have the first colony selected and are now working to find which of the local vets will give us a discount for neutering, vaccinations, and other care. I am so excited!

    Right now, I have a very small feral colony I care for (only six cats) in addition to my 6 indoor cats. The colony the Humane Scoiety will adopt has about 20 cats, so it will be a much bigger undertaking than what I'm used to.

    Any advice on working with a larger colony will be appreciated!

    OMG!!! That's excellent!!! Go to http://www.alleycat.org/
    They have all kinds of suggestions/help to offer for people starting rescue groups!! YIPPEE for your Humane Society....and YOU! Keep us posted.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
