TNRSaveslives is a topic focused on raising awareness and advocating for Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs to control and manage community cat populations. These programs aim to humanely trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate, and return feral cats to their environment to prevent overpopulation and improve their quality of life.
Petitions under this topic often call for increased funding and support for TNR initiatives, as well as the implementation of laws and policies that promote TNR over traditional methods like euthanasia. Notable petitions highlight success stories of TNR programs reducing cat populations and improving community relations.
By exploring and supporting the petitions on TNRSaveslives, individuals can contribute to more compassionate and effective solutions for managing community cat populations. Your involvement can help save lives, promote animal welfare, and create healthier communities for both humans and cats.
I am a former NJ resident and part of a TNR program in the city I lived in and had a small colony that I took care of. I was a NJ resident when this bill first came around. I supported it then as I do now. Community cats need help! And also the advocates for them.
TNR works! I did it years ago in my neighborhood at my own cost. Keeping animals from being born in the wild is a lot easier than trying to keep them fed and healthy.
As a former long time resident of NJ I see the extreme need for low cost spay/neuter. It is so expensive to care for a family/pet. Help with spay/neuter would reduce the animal over population.
I have been doing TNR for 30 yrs. IT WORKS. 193 cats have moved thru my colony in 35 yrs. I have a registered colony with the city. It’s cheaper to do tnr than euthanize them.
As a foster for OCAC, I dispute the information in this petition. Yes, OCAC has to euthanize some cats and kittens. Rescues that claim to be “no kill” have every opportunity to step in to save these cats and kittens, but they are frequently “full” and cannot or will not accept any more cats or kittens. OCAC has limited funds, space and staffing. They go to extreme lengths to find fosters for these animals. I receive multiple pleas each day during kitten season begging for ANY foster long term or short term. They will split litters into smaller groups. They will accept very short term foster situations while they continue searching for long term fosters.
OCAC is prohibited from keeping unweaned kittens in their facility overnight where there are no funds for overnight staffing to bottle feed these kittens. OCAC IS prohibited from overcrowding in their facility, so they are forced to make very difficult choices to keep the number of animals within the permitted number.
How many of the OCAC cats and kittens are you currently fostering? If you want to help OCAC, you should be fostering for them. This morning, I have already received a plea for help from OCAC. THERE ARE 18 KITTENS THAT NEED FOSTERS SO FAR TODAY. This is everyday
Why don’t you petition Gavin Newsom to provide funds for more space at the shelter, overnight staffing, supplies and additional veterinary staff?
These animals deserve a chance at life. Humans have failed these innocent animals who have no voice. Ban Breeding until all shelters are empty with all animals having a furever home.
