Feral Cat Colony Registration System Launched in NYC September
20, 2002
Neighborhood Cats announced the launch of a colony registration system for
the caretakers of neutered feral cat colonies in New York City. Within the
next few months, the system will be Internet-based and caretakers will be
able to log on to register and update their colonies. The system will allow
for the building of a database whose ultimate purpose will be to track the
effectiveness of TNR. When enough colonies are enrolled, the registration
system will make it possible for eartipped cats turned into city shelters
to be returned to their homes (as is now done in San Francisco). Colony
registrants are eligible to participate in special programs designed to
assist caretakers and in the growing feral cat caretaker network.
