Trap-neuter-Return (TNR) is fast becoming the preferred
approach for controlling and reducing feral cat populations. This webinar
focuses on ways to make the implementation of TNR more effective in terms
of advocacy, colony management and setting up community-wide programs.
Persuasive policy presentations by TNR advocates to
municipal officials require an intimate understanding of why TNR works
where other methods fail. The theory and underlying factors in favor of
TNR will thus be explored in detail. On the colony level, the mass
trapping technique pioneered by Neighborhood Cats, which allows for rapid
improvement of conditions in previously unmanaged colonies, will be
described. Finally, the critical elements for putting together a
successful community-wide TNR program will also be presented.
