TNR - The Big Picture
presented by Holly Cheever, DVM, New York State Humane Association
& Bryan Kortis, Neighborhood Cats
TNR is a familiar method of dealing with feral cats that has burgeoned
in popularity over the past two decades. In this presentation, the preparation
and follow-up necessary in properly managed colonies will be explained, as
well as strategies for practicing TNR successfully on a large scale. (It’s the
“Return” part that isn’t always so simple!)
Also explored will be some of the controversies surrounding this practice, and
the position of shelters in communities where inadequate resources or other
circumstances preclude or make implementation of TNR programs a challenge.
Attendees will be encouraged to interact with the speakers, sharing their
experiences and their own communities’ approaches to handling the often
overwhelming numbers of tragically neglected feral cats.
