These cats are being cared for—and are cared about!

Members of your community are caring for the cats through Trap-Neuter-Return.

We are taking the cats to get spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal symbol of a neutered and vaccinated cat). We then return healthy, adult community cats—also called feral cats—to their outdoor home.

The cats will no longer reproduce—no more kittens! Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) improves their lives and yours. Plus, TNR is effective and humane. Other approaches for community cats just don’t work.

Don’t take cats to pounds or shelters.For more than 10,000 years, cats have been living outside near people. Community cats are domestic cats like pet cats, but are afraid of us and can’t be adopted—they live outside, but are killed in shelters. They are happy and healthy outdoors where they coexist with people.

A estos gatos se les cuida ¡y son importantes para alguien!

Los miembros de su comunidad cuidan a los gatos con el método de Atrapar, Esterilizar y Regresar.

Llevamos a los gatos a que los esterilicen, los vacunen y que les corten la punta de la oreja (el símbolo universal para un gato esterilizado y vacunado). Después regresamos gatos comunitarios (también llamados silvestres) adultos saludables a su hogar en el exterior.

Los gatos ya no se reproducirán; ¡no habrá más gatitos!Atraparlos, esterilizarlos y regresarlos (Trap-Neuter-Return, TNR) mejora la vida de ellos y la suya; además, TNR es efectivo y humanitario. Otros enfoques para tratar a los gatos comunitarios simplemente no funcionan.

No lleve a los gatos a refugios.Los gatos llevan más de 10,000 años viviendo en el exterior cerca de las personas. Los gatos comunitarios son gatos domésticos, como los gatos que son mascotas, pero nos temen y no pueden ser adoptados; ellos viven en el exterior, pero en los refugios los matan. Están felices y saludables en el exterior donde coexisten con las personas.
