Alley Cat Allies sponsored a special “Spay-a-Thon” Saturday, March 30 in which 42 feral cats were neutered by veterinarians with Stray Aid & Rescue of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., before being returned to their outdoor homes.
The Spay-a-Thon aimed to curb “kitten season”perhaps the most important time of the year to bring attention to the importance of spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to prevent litters of kittens born outdoors.
TNR is the only effective and humane approach to stabilize feral cat populations in the community. Thousands of volunteer caregivers in Broward County and across the state of Florida carry out TNR programs in their communities, and a bill (S.B. 1320/H.B. 1121) that would encourage more communities to embrace TNR is currently working its way through the state legislature.
