Neighborhood Cats
Receives Safe Steps Home Grant The grant will be used by Neighborhood Cats to further its mission of promoting trap-neuter-return (TNR) as the only humane and effective method of controlling feral cat populations, which now number in the tens of thousands in New York City, and in the tens of millions in the United States. Neighborhood Cats uses primarily two means to fulfill this mission - performing high impact TNR field projects throughout New York City and creating new educational tools to teach TNR. Both means will be advanced through the Safe Steps Home grant. Specifically, the funds will be used to develop and publish the first complete handbook on trap-neuter-return, to produce and distribute a video and study guide on mass trapping of feral cats, to conduct further high profile field projects, to provide written materials for live workshops hosted by the ASPCA and to maintain a current and informative website useful for TNR practitioners everywhere.
