Is there a safe, humane and effective method of controlling existing populations of feral cats?
Yes, it is called Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Cats are trapped by caretakers, neutered and then returned to their ‘home’ for release. Caretakers feed and monitor the health and reproductive status of the colony. Millions of cat-lovers in the United States feed and care for feral cats. The American Veterinary Medical Association supports the use of Trap-Neuter-Return to control existing colonies of carefully supervised feral cats, provided they are located in safe areas away from wildlife refuges and bird sanctuaries.
