Webinar – 5/20/23 – Targeted TNR & Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck – Community Cats Podcast

Virtual

Community Cats Podcast Presents: The more cats you fix, the more impact your TNR program will have, right? Wrong! Spay/neuter volume alone is rarely enough by itself to keep consistently reducing a community's free-roaming cat population over time. Another aspect to the program needs to be identifying areas of high need (meaning, lots of cats) and then focusing TNR resources at that location in order to achieve high sterilization rates. Discover what targeting is, why it's so important, and how you can do it no matter how large or small your program currently is.
