Nearly 75% of cats entering shelters each year are killed. Many of them are community cats ("stray" or "feral" cats). If these cats have a community cat caregiver, a trap-neuter-return (TNR) program gets them to a vet where they are spayed/neutered and vaccinated and then returned to the colony. Once TNR is complete, these free-roaming cats are able to stay out of the shelter system and live happy, healthy lives.
