Central Oklahoma Humane Society TNR Celebrates 4,000th Feral Cat Trapped!
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society is extremely proud of its successful and aggressive Trap-Neuter-Return Program, “Stop the Cattin’ Around!”. Since March of 2007 more than 4,000 cats have been TNR’d in Oklahoma City, directly impacting the city’s euthanasia rate, and saving taxpayer dollars that previously funded the euthanasia of animals.
The Goals of OK Humane’s TNR Program are:
* To change the way feral cats are routinely treated
* To recognize their right to live and their niche in the environment
* To improve the quality of their lives through spay/neuter
* To humanely, nonlethally, and substantially reduce their numbers
OK Humane works very hard at absorbing any kittens that are 6 – 9 weeks of age from managed colonies to socialize and place up for adoption.
It just so happens that lucky number 4,000 was a kitten that was able to be welcomed into OK Humane’s adoption program. Rio has since been adopted!
If you are managing a feral cat colony inside Oklahoma City limits or know someone who is, please email tnr@okhumane.org or call 405-286-1503 x 7 for more information on how OK Humane can help!
