📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: "the vacuum effect"
👉 Why "catch and kill" doesn't work.

A vacuum occurs when a population is removed from an area, opening the territory for outsiders to take advantage of it's resources. Some people believe that if you remove cats from an area (catch and kill), you will solve the problem. What they don't realize is that the resources in that area (food and shelter, for example) remain and will attract other cats from neighboring areas to take advantage of those resources.

Why don't we just catch and euthanize the cats in an area rather than TNR them? Because "catch and kill" doesn't work to solve the community cat population problem. Plus, killing otherwise healthy cats is inhumane.

Cats are territorial, so when you remove cats from a territory (when you "catch and kill"), new cats will move in to take advantage of the resources available in that territory. Those cats will also need to be captured, and the cycle will continue to no end. The better solution is to TNR the cats already in the area and let them defend their space against newcomers.

Exterminating community cats does not work to control the cat population. The only proven method is TNR -- and it happens to be the only HUMANE way as well. The attached link leads to a short article from Alley Cat Allies with more details about "the vacuum effect." Support TNR in your community!

🚨 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐒 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐍 𝐊𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐔𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 🚨

The Trion Community Cats Group strongly condemns kitten dumping in all its forms. This act is not only inhumane but also illegal under RA 8485 (The Animal Welfare Act of the Philippines).

Abandoning kittens in unfamiliar surroundings is a death sentence, and RELOCATING them again only worsens their chances of survival, subjecting them to even greater stress and danger.

Here’s why:

💔 Unimaginable Risks:
Starvation, dehydration, disease, traffic accidents, and predators leave dumped kittens with little chance of survival.

💔 Emotional and Physical Trauma:
Abandoned kittens face fear, loneliness, and struggle to adapt to a dangerous and unfamiliar environment.

💔 Uncontrolled Overpopulation:
Abandoned kittens who survive often grow up unspayed or unneutered, contributing to the cycle of stray overpopulation.

Another precious life lost.

This week, we’ve tragically said goodbye to three beloved community cats—two to sudden illness and one, just this morning, to a heartbreaking vehicular accident. Even more heart-wrenching to see Lily sit beside her baby, confused and grieving, helplessly seeking for help. All we could do was give them a proper burial.

Capri community, we urge you to take just a moment: check under your cars and honk twice before driving off. A simple act could save a life.

Attention cat lovers in Capri! We’re looking for kind-hearted volunteers to help feed our beloved community cats, including sweet Lily and her friends. Just 1–2 hours a week of your time can make a huge difference. The volunteer group provides the food, and in return, you’ll experience the pure joy of being greeted with love and gratitude at every feeding. Ready to join the Cat Feeders Group? Message us!

Happy New Year, Capri community! Wishing everyone abundance and joy in the coming year. As for us, we face another year of resilience, striving to survive each day. Here’s to hoping for a kinder year—a year filled with care, safety, and fuller bellies for me and my fellow souls in Capri. May this year bring the changes we desperately need. 🙏🏻~ Lily of Albero trash bin

A heartfelt thank you to the kind-hearted residents of Capri Oasis who generously share their time and blessings to care for our community cats. For you, it might be just one meal in a day, but for them, it could be the lifeline they’ve been waiting for after days of hunger. Your compassion makes a world of difference.
We’d like to gently remind everyone though to avoid feeding the community cats cooked chicken bones or fish bones, as these can cause serious internal injuries when swallowed. Let’s continue to care for them with love and keep them safe. Hindi po totoong favorite ng cats ang tinik at buto, kinakain lang po nila yun dahil wala na silang makain. 😞

This holiday season, you have the chance to give a gift that truly matters. The community cats rely on kind hearts like yours to ensure they don’t go hungry. We’re still looking for volunteer feeders who can spare just an hour or two, a few days a week. To them, your time means warmth, hope, and a full belly.

Please consider being their Christmas miracle. Help us ensure they get a decent meal each day. If you can lend a helping hand, message us — the cats are waiting.

One of our community cats, Soopy, has been struggling with fleas and has become very thin. After her CBC and blood chemistry tests, it was discovered that she has anemia as well. The vet has advised us to bring her back next week for a follow-up check-up.

We kindly ask for your prayers for Soopy’s recovery. If you would like to contribute towards her future medical bills, please see the GCash QR code below. We deeply appreciate any support you can offer. Thank you!!! 🐈🧡

Shelly 🌈 September 3, 2024

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Shelly, one of our beloved Cats of Capri Oasis. Despite our best efforts and care, brought her to a vet clinic to extend her life, she has left us. Shelly brought joy and companionship to many of us, she was always one that excitingly approaches our volunteer feeders. She will be greatly missed and we are grateful for the time she gave us to let her feel loved and cared.

We hope that one day, we can do more as a community to make their short life here comfortable.

Run free Shelly. Enjoy the endless cat food and playtime over the rainbow bridge where no one can cause you harm anymore.

This is what we have been coordinating for Capri Oasis. No resolution yet. Since October last year, may volunteers na willing to organize the activities, raise funds and initiate this program para sa mga cats ng Capri Oasis. We are waiting for the official actions from PMO, gather the community and offer this. Because we were told we cant solicit or do activities nang walang permission from the PMO/Community. It will not even come from the condo funds, purely advocacy of the people from the community who are willing to work for this. We are still waiting. 🙏🏻

“I was found soaked and crying at the entrance gate of our condo. I am looking for a foster home until I am big enough to survive on my own or get an adopter. Will you consider taking care of me for now? “

Please message Cats of Capri 🙏🏻

Kapon ang solusyon!
- Vacuum: kapag inalis ang mga pusa, may papalit lang ulit at maaring ang mga bagong pusa pa ay may rabies or mas aggressive
- Trap-Neuter-Return: para mabawasan ang agression, populasyon ng mga pusa sa community
- Kulong: para sa mga taong nagtatapon ng strays at nagneglect/abandon/abuso ng animal
