Feral Cats, T.N.R, Alley Cat Allies and the Wild Cat Foundation of Lafayette (continued)
Alley Cat Allies has a solution that not only reduces feral cat populations, but also improves and extends the lives of colony members: Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).

What Is TNR?  TNR is a comprehensive plan where entire feral colonies are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and neutered by veterinarians. Kittens and cats that are tame enough to be adopted are placed in good homes. Adult cats are returned to their familiar habitat to live out their lives under the watchful care of sympathetic neighborhood volunteers.

TNR works. Cat populations are gradually reduced. Nuisance behaviors associated with breeding, such as the yowling of females or the spraying of toms, are virtually eliminated. Disease and malnutrition are greatly reduced. The cats live healthy, safe, and peaceful lives in their territories. 

The  Acadiana Humane Society applauds ACA and the Wild Cat Foundation of Lafayette for their efforts in behalf of the feral cats.
Dogs can’t add
Cats can’t subtract
But they sure can MULTIPLY
