Update on Trap-Neuter Release Program
During the month of June 2017, 42 feral cats were altered and returned
to the community. The goal of the program is to reduce the over-
population of feral cats within the City. Since inception of the Trap-
Neuter-Release Program in October 2015 a total of 879 feral cats have
been saved from being euthanized. Feral cats that are removed from
areas in close proximity to schools and businesses are not selected as
TNR candidates, but are available to interested individuals as well as to
animal rescue organizations.
