New NACA Statement Benefits Cats and Communities
Recently the National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA), a group representing officers responsible for public health and safety, issued a strong statement supporting humane community cat management and trap-neuter-return and advocating for continued community education.
The statement acknowledges that impoundment of healthy adult cats reduces the likelihood of reuniting families with pets while disproportionately impacting under-served and marginalized communities.
It is the position of NACA that indiscriminate pick up or admission of healthy, free-roaming cats, regardless of temperament, for any purpose other than TNR/SNR, fails to serve commonly held goals of community animal management and protection programs and, as such, is a misuse of time and public funds and should be avoided.
