The universal cat overpopulation problem has attracted a growing swell of volunteers engaged in TNR and rescue of stray cats from city streets, parks, and rural areas. It isn't enough to feed these cats. If they are not spayed and neutered, your feral colony will multiply out of control.
Rescue is a vital part of TNR, because often some of the stray cats and their litters of kittens can be saved by fostering and then placing them in responsible permanent homes. Thus, TNR and rescue often go hand-in-hand.
If you are active in TNR and/or rescue, you can do an added service for these cats by sharing your expertise here.
