Stray Cats in your Neighborhood?
option 01Trap - Neuter - Return
For feral, unadoptable cats, this is the most humane way to manage them. TNR refers to trapping, spaying/neutering, vaccinating and then returning back to the neighborhoods or colonies they are familiar with.
option 2Spay and Neuter
Spaying and neutering prevents unwanted litters and also keeps animals healthier and happier. It makes them less aggressive, reduces urine smell and reduces unwanted behavior. Pregnant cats can be sprayed.
option 3Foster and Adoption
Many street cats make wonderful house cats. Making that transition requires assessment, fostering and adoption. JAWS members may have capacity… and you might consider fostering for them. Let’s work together to see what’s possible!
