"I realized there was a whole world of feral cats out there"
Kit, the founder of the largest TNR group in the greater Boston area, provides insights on how to develop an effective TNR program. Because 50% of the cats found by Charles River Alley Cats are "friendlies," the group sha developed important relationships with local shelters to serve as adoption partners. In terms of building TNR capabilities, Kit cautions that it's important to put resources — equipment, transportation, veterinarians and space — into place before starting to trap. She shares her group's astonishing impact on shelter intakes and euthanasia, and also how she brought her passion for helping animals to her vacation home in Mexico, where 90% of cats are unowned and a local veterinarian takes braided bracelets and fish in exchange for fixing local animals.
