TONIGHT: Community Cat Workshop!
Community cats are not homeless. They just live outside!

Trap-Neuter-Return is the best way to show them you love them, whether they are feral or friendly or anywhere in between. When a cat is TNR’d, they live longer, healthier lives - and the cycle of kittens being born outside stops. Caring for outdoor cats? We’ll share best practices for keeping a colony (and your neighbors) happy. We’ll share details about our program, which is supported by the Essex County Board of Commissioners, and other local resources. If you love cats and want to help reduce shelter intake and euthanasia, this workshop is the perfect place to start.
