"Over the past year, Neighborhood Cats has received an increasing number of requests from all over the country to come teach our feral cat training workshop, which is now hosted bi-monthly by the ASPCA in Manhattan," said Neighborhood Cats president Ruth Sharp. "This inspired us to develop the online course. Now anyone with Internet access, no matter where they live, can quickly learn the basics of TNR and put it to work in their community." The first interactive session, lasting 4 weeks and including an ongoing discussion with Neighborhood Cats instructors, begins March 17, 2003, at a cost of $19.95. A second session at the same price will be held starting April 28. Access to all the written content can be obtained right away by registering for the course at Suite U. and choosing the "Quick" version at a cost of $14.95.
