Helping Cats Where They Are

Community cats (aka stray or free-roaming cats) risk losing their lives simply because they've made a home in the outdoors. In many cases, they are brought to local shelters, where they are unlikely to get adopted because many of them aren't socialized to people.

That's where community cat programs come in. These programs use trap-neuter-return (TNR) to save cats. The process is simple: Community cats are trapped, evaluated by veterinarians, vaccinated, ear-tipped, spayed or neutered, and returned to their outdoor homes, unable to have kittens.

And these programs are already working around the country.

Help save the lives of community cats by advocating for trap-neuter-return programs in your area.

  • Los Angeles
    Los Ángeles apoya a su comunidad y a sus gatos
    Casi 10 años después de que el Consejo Municipal de Los Angeles votaron para hacer de la ciudad una comunidad donde no se matan a perros o gatos innecesariamente, la lucha continúa. Aunque el umbral del 90% se alcanzó para los perros hace cuatro años, los esfuerzos para salvar vidas de los gatos han sido mucho más desafiantes. Sin embargo, un programa actualmente en consideración probablemente empujaría a Los Angeles a la cima. La mayor barrera para salvar a más gatos ha sido una orden judicial que impide a la Ciudad de participar en los programas de CES (Capturar, Esterilizar y Soltar). Como resultado, la cantidad de gatitos que ingresan a los refugios de Los Angeles, a aumentando en los últimos años, agotando los recursos disponibles. El mes pasado, la Ciudad público los detalles de su tan esperado programa para gatos de la ciudad, que asigna fondos para la esterilización de 20,000 gatos que deambulan libremente al año, además de los fondos ya asignados para las mascotas de los residentes. El proceso es simple: los gatos son capturados, evaluados por veterinarios, esterilizados, vacunados y devueltos a su comunidad. Esto promete ser un cambio de juego sin obstaculizar ninguno de los avances ya realizados -- revocando la orden judicial y allanando el camino para que Los Ángeles se convierta en la comunidad más grande del país en donde no se matan a perros y gatos innecesariamente.
