We’ve been busy and got side tracked and forgot to post our successes in the field the past couple of weeks. 6/1/26 five cats went to get fixed to stop them from further contributing to the overpopulation of outdoor cats.

From Trap to Total Devotion: Bean Has Been Adopted! 🐾✨

In animal rescue, there are days of intense struggle and heartbreak. But when we get a win like this? It feels like walking on clouds.

Little Bean’s journey started in the most precarious way possible—she was born in a trap, brought into rescue still wet from birth, and gently warmed by the fire minutes later. Though her mother unfortunately refused her, mama cat was safely spayed, cared for, and returned to her outdoor home, while tiny Bean went into foster care. Thanks to the dedicated love of her foster mama and the entire PANT team, this tiny gray bean didn't just survive; she absolutely thrived.

Today, Bean officially headed to her forever home. As you can see from the photos, she didn’t waste any time—she already has her new dad completely wrapped around her little paw!

From a chilly, uncertain beginning to a lifetime of warmth, love, and chin scratches. Happy tails, sweet Bean! 🥂🐾

Summer trapping means more chances to catch critters other than cats! Here are a few good ideas for keeping unwanted creatures out of your traps.

First, get your cats on a daytime feeding schedule, since most wildlife is nocturnal. Then, trap at their feeding time. (Unless birds are your problem animals… then, feed the cats soon after dusk or later at night when the birds are sleeping!)

If they’re still hanging out at trapping time, distract them with food they like but cats don’t. Here’s a cheat sheet:

😋 Chickens: cracked corn
😋 Raccoons: apples, marshmallows, corn, bread
😋 Possums: acorns, tomatoes, apples, bananas
😋 Skunks: nuts, bananas, apples, bread

Save this post so you have it handy next time you’re trying to keep critters out of your traps!

The science on Trap-Neuter-Return programs for community cats has been building for decades. And a new research summary published in April 2026 by Texas A&M researchers brings that evidence together in one clear statement.

According to Dr. Amanda Blake, an associate research scientist in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, TNR is the only humane, evidence-based, effective method to control unowned cat populations that live outdoors. The research confirms that TNR works by stopping the breeding cycle, which in turn addresses the community concerns most commonly raised about outdoor cat colonies, including disease spread, fighting, spraying, and yowling.

TNR programs work like this: community cats are humanely trapped, brought to a veterinary clinic to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal visible sign that a cat has been through the program), and then returned to their outdoor homes.

The research also highlights something called the vacuum effect. When cats are simply removed from an area without being spayed or neutered, new unsterilized cats quickly move in to fill the space. TNR prevents this by stabilizing colony populations over time.

Beyond population management, TNR reduces shelter intake, lowers euthanasia rates, decreases calls to animal control, and saves taxpayer money. Cats who are no longer focused on mating and reproducing also tend to coexist more peacefully with the people living near them.

For those who care about community cats, this research is worth sharing. The debate over whether TNR works is, scientifically speaking, largely settled.

Summer is right around the corner! ☀️ Are you ready to help cats stay cool? This is a perfect time to get a refresher on best practices.

To best help community cats in a heat wave, here are three key tips:

💧 Don’t leave food out for more than 30 minutes or it will heat up and/or bugs will infest it
💧 Too much water is better than not enough! Place water bowls in shaded areas and refill regularly
💧 Build or buy outdoor cat shelters they can hide away in. Tuck frozen water bottles under straw/other bedding inside the shelter to keep it cool
