The Paw Project thanks NY Congressman Jerry Nadler for introducing a federal resolution today opposing declawing of cats and urging all states to ban declawing.
PS: New York, Rep. Nadler’s home state, was the first US state to ban declawing…thanks to Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal (with Paw Project assist!)
The Paw Project is proud to be a supporter of this resolution and to have helped write the resolution.

📚 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 "𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧" 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐍𝐑 (trap/neuter/RETURN)
Why do we RETURN cats and not "get rid" of them? 🤔

🚨 IMPORTANT: R stands for RETURN, NOT RELEASE!!!!
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑 𝐢𝐧 "𝐓𝐍𝐑" 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍. After we've trapped and taken the cat to the clinic for spay/neuter, vaccines and ear tip, we RETURN them to the place where they were captured. We DO NOT release them to a different area, nor do we euthanize them. Community cats (the umbrella term for stray, feral and unowned outdoor cats) live in a 3-mile radius. Within this territory, they have established resources for food and shelter. This is their home and the area which sustains them; do not remove them from it (unless their lives are in danger).

Community cats are territorial and will protect their territory from outside cats. When you TNR a cat and return it to its territory, it will 1) no longer contribute to overpopulation, 2) defend its territory from outside cats, and 3) be a peaceful neighbor as undesirable habits like fighting, spraying and yowling will have been eliminated through spay/neuter. Theoretically, if you TNR all cats within a territory, the colony should die out over time.

👉 Why do we not trap and kill? Two very important reasons: it's inhumane and it doesn't solve the problem of overpopulation. Cats are territorial! When you remove cats from a territory, other/new cats come in to take advantage of the resources in that territory. This is known as "the vacuum effect." If you "catch and kill," you'll forever be in a cycle of trapping and removing cats. It's better--and more humane--to TNR, bring those cats back to the territory, and let them defend it.

Some people who call for help with cats on their property and are unfamiliar with TNR are surprised to learn that the cats will be returned. When we explain why we RETURN and not kill, they understand the science and allow the cats to return. Education is key!!! 💡 Share your knowledge to protect and improve the lives of our community cats!
