TNR Program

At the moment, we have numerous gals in the area who are feeding strays (feral and semi-feral cats - not adoptable). These gals are more than willing to continue caring for the cats outside and we are also looking into getting old plywood donations to built shelters (with straw) that the gals can place behind their garages, sheds, etc. for the winter.

Up until now, the gals have chipped in their own money to pay for sterilizations. It is firstly to help these girls out that we want to start a TNR fund and, hopefully, the city will chip in so that we can do in for cats that live behind restaurants and hang around dumpsters.

Right now, in Ile Perrot, there is a feral cat colony behind a local restaurant that I frequent. The owner loves having them there (for rodent control) and they always have a source of food through the restaurant's dumpster. TNR will help control the population, spread of disease, etc.

There is not much point in TNR where the cats have no food sources or shelter; but where they will be cared for (to a certain extent) and have shelter, it is worth a try.

Thanks for all your inputs and I welcome any (kind) suggestions or ideas.
