ROANOKE, Va., Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alley Cat Rescue, is sponsoring spay and neuter surgeries for community cats through the Mountain View Humane spay/neuter clinic.
Alley Cat Rescue promotes Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) as an effective method to humanely control the population of community cats, improve community cat welfare, and decrease shelter euthanasia. This work is especially crucial now, with shelters across the country overflowing with surrendered pets and a backlog of spay/neuter surgeries following pandemic lockdowns.
Louise Holton is the founder and president of Alley Cat Rescue. She has been working to spread TNR throughout the country as an alternative to euthanizing outdoor cats (a method also known as catch-and-kill). Holton explained how TNR benefits community cats: "It's such a tragedy that cats end up in shelters, and a large percentage of them are outdoor cats. Sterilization of outdoor cats not only keeps them healthy, it saves their lives because if those cats end up in a shelter, they are deemed unadoptable and routinely euthanized."
Funds are limited. Individuals and rescue organizations are encouraged to take advantage of this offer without delay. To schedule your appointment, contact Mountain View Humane at (540) 382-0222. Please note all feral cats must come in a feral cat trap. For further details, visit mvhclinic.org/feral-cat-package/.
Alley Cat Rescue is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of all cats: domestic, stray, abandoned, and feral. ACR advocates for humane nonlethal control of feral cats. For more information, visit their website https://www.saveacat.org.
