Help the Neighborhood Cats and Save Tax Dollars

Trap-Neuter-Release AKA TNR

Communities through out Alabama face a huge problem of homeless cats running at large, many of them feral and too wild to be placed into homes. These cat colonies reproduce rapidly and as there numbers grow so does the noise, odor and other problems.

Humanely trapped, neutered, and is
ready to be release is his territory.

A  cat colony can range from 3-5 cats to about 100 cats. Their locations vary, some hiding in alleyways or in large parks. Members consist of adult females, their young, and some adult males. Unaltered males in a colony fight each other for territory and for females. 

Fleas and unhealthy food source cause the cats to have intestinal microorganisms (such as coccidia or giardia) and other parasites (such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms). Exposure to these parasites lead to diarrhea and subsequent dehydration. They also can have ear mites, ringworm, and upper respiratory infections. Others are wounded in mating-fights and die from the infected wounds. Still others eventually contract Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or Feline Leukemia due to the constant transmission of blood and bodily fluids from fighting and sexual activity. While all of these illnesses are quite treatable, there must be humans to intervene to stop these illnesses from becoming fatal.

TNR is a humane method Trapping feral cats, having them Neutered, adopting out the kittens that are friendly, and Returning the ones that are to wild back to their territory. TNR significantly reduces the noise from fighting, odor from spraying and more litters of kittens.
