We are an organization dedicated to the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method, a humane and effective approach to managing community cats. Our mission is personal to us and many, driven by a deep love for these animals and a commitment to their well-being.

In Crawford County, we have seen firsthand how uncontrolled populations of community cats can lead to issues such as disease spread and overpopulation. Yet these cats are part of our community fabric and deserve compassion rather than eradication.

The TNR method involves trapping community cats humanely, neutering them, then returning them to their original habitat. This approach not only prevents overpopulation but also reduces behaviors associated with mating that often lead to complaints from residents.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), TNR is more effective at stabilizing cat populations than trap-and-remove methods. Moreover, it's cost-effective; communities spend less money on animal control resources when they implement TNR programs.

We urge local authorities of Crawford County to support this proven strategy as part of their animal control measures. By doing so we can create a healthier environment for both our feline friends and human residents alike.

Please sign this petition to show our local government that you are in support of our community taking action to better the lives of our community cats as well as all Crawford County residents, and that an essential first step is a sustainable TNR program actively supported by our municipality.
