We’re proud to announce the release of our latest Law & Policy Brief, “Trap-Neuter-Return Ordinances and Policies in the United States: The Future of Animal Control.”
The first comprehensive look at Trap-Neuter-Return policies across the United States, this report is proof that animal control policies are finally catching up with the core values of this country. Local governments are moving toward TNR because it is the effective, humane approach to feral cats.
The number of local governments with policies favoring Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for outdoor cats has risen exponentially over the past decade, from just 23 in 2003 to 240 this year. States with the highest number of TNR ordinances include New Jersey with 58, California with 33, and Texas with 29 ordinances. Major municipalities and counties that have adopted TNR include San Francisco, the District of Columbia, and New York City.
