Thank you catmandu. Precious isn't suffering anymore, but there are thousands of feral cats suffering even worse fates all over the country. For the majority of them there is no hope of ever finding a healthy nutritious meal, a drink of fresh water or a moment when they don't live in fear.

Thanks to the TNR programs, Precious had a far better life than most feral cats during her short time here on earth. She had two square meals a day, a constant fresh supply of water and shelter from the weather. She was also spared the stress of producing a litter of unwanted kittens every few months to further drain her strength. And she had someone to care when she was dying and in need of release from pain! The EAMT was so gentle and caring with her it brought tears to our eyes.

As word of the sucess of the TNR programs continues to grow, we can only pray that more areas of the country will become involved.

The proof of their sucess is in the math. In the 23 cats we trapped and speutered 2 1/2 years ago, there were 14 females. If each of those females and each female that they produced had continued to breed unchecked the numbers would be overwhelming by now. As a result of the TNR the feral cat population in our neighborhood has not increased at all! In fact it has actually decreased! Thats the goal of TNR groups! No more feral cats through humane treatment--not mass euthanasia!
