How You Can Help
Whether you’re caring for outdoor cats or simply an animal welfare ambassador, you can make a difference in cat overpopulation in our community while bettering the life of a homeless feline.
The most important step you can take to benefit both cats and our community is to ensure that all outdoor cats in your neighborhood are spayed/neutered. Trap-Neuter-Return programs are the most humane and effective way to stabilize outdoor cat populations. They help reduce cat overpopulation through natural attrition as opposed to euthanasia and allow for undomesticated felines to live out their lives in their colonies. TNR also reduces displeasing behaviors such as spraying, yowling and fighting.
Arizona’s Fix.Adopt.Save initiative offers a variety of affordable TNR resources. Learn more about Trap-Neuter-Return or for more information about affordable TNR programs, visit Animal Defense League of Arizona's Spay Neuter Hotline.
