Be like Evelyn! TNR (trap/neuter/return) in your neighborhood!
Be like Evelyn!😻
Evelyn recently trapped the small colony of five cats living on her property. What makes her story so inspiring? Evelyn uses a wheelchair, and she didn't let that stop her from saving lives.
After Evelyn successfully trapped the cats, her neighbors stepped in to help bring the traps inside overnight. The next morning, our Community Cat Coordinator picked up the cats and transported them to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. It truly took a community working together to make a difference.
So often, we hear from people who want to help community cats but don't think they can trap them. Evelyn proved that with determination, compassion, and a little help from those around her, it can be done.
Her actions matter because we're in the middle of a cat overpopulation crisis. There simply aren't enough homes for all the kittens being born. Every day, kittens suffer on the streets or enter overcrowded city shelters, where many are euthanized simply because there isn't enough space.
This is what Cat Days of Summer is all about—not only rescuing kittens already in need, but preventing future litters through Trap-Neuter-Return.
By trapping and sterilizing this mama cat and her kittens, Evelyn has helped stop the cycle before it continues.
If Evelyn can do it, so can you!
