We are proud to help with this endeavor. The feral cat population can, will, and has exploded in both Henderson and Warren counties. This is a great way to try to help the feral cats.
WIAR is pleased to introduce our Trap-Neuter-Return Program-a compassionate, lifesaving initiative dedicated to giving free-roaming cats in Warren County a brighter, safer future. With each cat we help, we’re taking meaningful steps to unite our community and transform lives, both feline and human.
Starting Tuesday, December 16th, we invite the public to reach out to us with applications and inquiries. This program is the product of heartfelt collaboration between WIAR, caring local veterinarians, and the Warren County Board. Yet, its true strength lies with you-the citizens whose voices, love and advocacy have long called for a kinder solution for at-large cat colonies in our rural areas, villages and the City of Monmouth.
For years, our animal control officers have wished to do more, but lacked the resources to make a difference. Now, with this program and your support, we can change that. TNR is more than just a method-it’s an act of kindness that humanely reduces cat populations, reduces shelter overcrowding, ensures these animals get vital vaccinations, and creates hope and wellbeing throughout our neighborhoods.
This is not a quick fix. TNR programs require patience, dedication and ongoing support. But together, we can build a legacy of compassion, one that truly improves the quality of life for everyone, especially the most vulnerable among us.
In the coming days, we’ll share more details: the step-by-step process, the roles each of us will play, how the program will be funded, and the many ways our community can lift these cats and each other up.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us in this journey. Your kindness creates a healthier, more loving home for our community cats and brings hope where it’s needed most
