My question is how do you negotiate (and inform) with a city council to try TNR? I think the biggest problem is finding a vet to perform the sterilizations.None are willing to give a 'volume discount'. Should the shelter advertise for one? That is one of the major drawbacks she says. We have a huge advocate at the shelter now, and I heard that she is 'talking' with them about it, but so far they still poison, and trap and destroy. They even passed a law that no 'feral' animals can be fed. (I guess I have a large number of pretty wild cats as my pets!) They even wanted to license cats for 50.00 and make it illegal for them to leave a person's property! Needless to say there was such a public outcry THAT was dropped! Do we need to educate the whole town on TNR and have everyone write the city? Thanks for any help you can give, and bless you for being a voice for the ferals!
