Our mission is to control the feral cat population through the trap neuter and return program (TNR) and educate the public with the process of managing the feral population or community cats in their neighborhoods.
Feral Cats are the direct result of human disregard. They started off life as domestic cats left behind by humans and are left to fend for themselves. If they are not spayed/neutered they will breed and multiply quickly. These cats are born in the wild without human contact resulting in feral kittens and cats. With this a feral cat colony is formed.
Without trap neuter and return feral cats can also be a health concern to humans. A person would more than likely not hesitate to make contact with a cat that approaches them and appears 'normal" and friendly. In the summer of 2011 a local youth was bit by a feral cat in the town of East Windsor CT. The cat was trapped and tested positive for rabies. Trap neuter and return (TNR) is a program that benefits not only the feral cats in the communities but also the humans that they share that community with. TNR not only assists in controlling the feral cat population but also the spread of rabies to humans and other animals by spaying/neutering and administering rabies vaccine.
By spaying/neutering we are helping control the feral cat population in our communities.
