Product Overview
Recipient of a Certificate of Excellence from the Cat Writers' Association, this handbook compiles scientific research and 40 years of hands-on experience working with feral cats to put the rumors about predation and health risks to rest, while providing a real and practical solution for humanely managing and reducing feral cat numbers. Long-time cat advocate and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) pioneer Louise Holton has written a comprehensive source of information about feral cats, including their biology, instincts, and health needs, as well as a step-by-step guide to managing a colony of outdoor cats. For too long, animal control agencies have utilized catch-and-kill to control outdoor cat populations to no avail. Whereas TNR programs have proven effective at reducing cat numbers, dramatically cutting costs and time, along with preserving innocent life. Within these pages, you will find an abundance of scientific evidence to support TNR as the most effective method for managing outdoor cats, along with a how-to guide for safely implementing your own successful TNR program. Community cats need our help now more than ever, and with Alley Cat Rescue's Guide, you will have the necessary tools to make a lasting difference in your neighborhood and the world.
