It's an Alley Cat Allies initiative that the organization describes as «an online resource to
educate about outdoor cats and Trap - Neuter - Return, the only humane and effective program to stabilize — and reduce — outdoor cat populations.»
Just launched a nonprofit CPAW NJ to raise
awareness about outdoor cats and the importance of spay / neuter and to provide surrender prevention help so people can keep their pets.
Workshops are an excellent first step in learning or educating
others about outdoor cats, Trap - Neuter - Return, and services available at a local level.
In the state of Virginia, Alley Cat Allies is raising awareness and educating the
community about outdoor cats, community cat colony care, Trap - Neuter - Return, and advocating for humane policies for all cats.
Nuisance behaviors, such as urinating and defecating in someone's yard or garden, digging in someone's yard or garden, jumping on someone's car and upsetting an owned cat, are the greatest concerns that the general public has
about outdoor cats.
Either that, or their «concerns»
about outdoor cats are really little more than fear - mongering (a tried - and - true fundraising technique, of course).
The numbers — such as decreased shelter intake and fewer cat euthanasias — are presented without asking «What does this really tell
us about outdoor cat numbers?»
