Touch the hood, slightly kick the tires and honk before starting the car!
Take a minute of your time , but it's worth it, you could save a life!

The laws that affect cats aren't made in Congress. They're made at your city council and county commission by your neighbors. 🐾

Stacy sits down with Danielle Bays, animal policy expert and architect of Washington D.C.'s citywide community cat program, for a conversation that every TNR advocate and community cat caretaker needs to hear.

Danielle's advice is simple and powerful: introduce yourself to your local officials before there's a problem. Because the first thing they usually hear about cats is a complaint and that's often how feeding bans happen. She explains how cats quietly get folded into wildlife feeding restrictions without anyone noticing until the ordinance has already passed, and what the alternative looks like: timed meals, clean sites, property owner permission, and caretakers who feel safe feeding in the open.

As she points out, once you prohibit something, you can no longer monitor whether it's being done well.

Danielle and Stacy also dig into return-to-field, what sets it apart from TNR, and how the updated Return-to-Field Handbook moves away from yes-or-no rules toward decisions about each individual cat. And they close on a note that feels especially timely: whatever someone's politics, you can almost always find common ground by talking about cats.

This October, we’re joining forces with Catster Magazine to turn National Feral Cat Awareness Day into , a time to learn more about feral and community cats, the challenges they face, and how even small changes can make a huge difference.

These cats may live outdoors and have limited contact with people, but they are still an important part of many communities and deserve care and compassion.

One of the most widely used approaches for managing feral cat populations is trap-neuter-return (TNR). Through TNR programs, cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and returned to their outdoor homes. Through surgical sterilization, TNR reduces feral cat numbers without culling or disrupting stable cat colonies.

National Feral Cat Awareness Month is also an opportunity to learn how to safely interact with community cats, support local TNR efforts, and recognize when a cat may need additional help.

Catster has compiled its resources on feral cats, TNR, community cat care, and related topics to make it easier to find reliable information and learn more about helping cats living outdoors.

Mission Meow is dedicating all grants for the month of October for funding TNR and community cat projects. We have chosen 5 organizations who are committed to helping their communities through a variety of projects. To lean more head over to our website missionmeow.org and sign up for our newsletter. You can also donate and proceeds this month go to funding the October grants!😻

This is why we TNVR. Dustin's Time Rescue recently picked up a cat from the Chickadee area—a heartbreaking outcome when food sources are cut back and cats are forced to fight over starvation rations.
​If you feed community cats in the area, please do not decrease their food intake. Decreasing food does not make cats disappear.it only leads to slow, painful suffering and territorial fighting right in our own front yards.
​Sterilization and vaccination—not starvation—is the only humane, effective solution to colony overpopulation.
​We can lend you traps if you are able to help trap local cats.
​We will assist you in any way possible to get the colonies Spay/neutered and vaccinated.
​lets work together to humanely control the population and stop preventable suffering.
