    • Abstract:
      They love the cats; they've named the cats; and they want the cats back. Little says ACA receives approximately 7,000 calls per year and they generally come from two types: people who are feeding cats and don't want more of them added to the colony, and people who don't like having stray cats in their yards. The TNR goal is to convince feeders of stray-cat colonies to reduce the amount of food they put out whenever a neutered cat dies or leaves the group. "By the time we had altered 800 cats in that zip code, the intake of stray cats from that zip code to Metro Animal Services had dropped by 51 percent", Little says. [Extracted from the article]
