The morning session will focus on TNR from a policy perspective, while the afternoon will emphasize wildlife issues involved with the management of feral cats.

How TNR Can Help Your
Shelter An estimated 80% of kittens are born to feral and stray cats! Often these kittens and many feral adults wind up in shelters, causing intake rates, euthanasia rates and shelter costs to rise. For shelters with animal control responsibilities, feral cats can also be a large source of complaint calls, further draining man-hours and resources. In this workshop taught by Bryan Kortis, Executive Director of Neighborhood Cats, you'll explore how a communitywide Trap-Neuter-Return program can help resolve these issues by reducing and managing the feral cat population in your area.
