That’s a wrap on our fall TNR event.

Thank you to the veterinarians, techs, assistants, and veterinary students who volunteered their time this weekend. They worked right alongside our staff, board members, and volunteers as we did our part in helping address the cat overpopulation crisis we are currently facing.

88 community cats were spayed and neutered this weekend. Thank you to the trappers who participated - this is also truly not possible without your hard work.

Every cat altered is another step in the right direction. While we know there's still a long way to go, this weekend made a difference.

Please spay and neuter.

There is simply not enough room for the number of cats in need in our community (and all over the country), and it will take all of us working together to create change.

Another step taken today.

Thank you, everyone. 🐾❤️
