Local Humane Society setting up new TNR program

[lotsocats]

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!
