Alley Cat Allies demands accountability in Spencer County, Indiana.

University of Illinois-Springfield Halts Its Campus Trap-Neuter-Return Program
Published: September 24th, 2018

Just months after approving Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) at the University of Illinois-Springfield campus, officials have suddenly halted the program. Without TNR, the cats at the University of Illinois-Springfield will likely be rounded up and taken to shelters. Most community cats are killed in shelters because they are not socialized to people, cannot live indoors, and are unadoptable.

Share the Truth About Cats

Misinformation costs millions of cats their lives every year. As the only national advocacy organization dedicated to the protection and humane treatment of cats, Alley Cat Allies is working to set the record straight.

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)

In a TNR program, community cats are humanely trapped, then neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped before being returned to their outdoor homes. The best approach for cats and communities, TNR stops the breeding cycle without unnecessary killing.

Spay and Neuter

Spay/Neuter is good for cats and communities. These surgical procedures are performed by veterinarians to sterilize animals, making them incapable of reproducing. Find out more about the many benefits of Spay/Neuter for individual cats and communities!
