Here's an event sponsored by the New York City Feral Car Initiative :
Workshop: "Trap-Neuter-Return: How to Manage a Feral Cat Colony"
Saturday, January 10, 2009
1:00-4:00 p.m.
ASPCA, 424 East 92nd Street, 5th Floor, Manhattan
Come learn how to care for the feral and stray cats in your community and make use of the many resources now available to assist you. All steps in setting up a managed colony will be covered, including establishing good community relations, feeding, building and placing shelters, arranging vet care, finding recovery space, safely handling feral cats, and trapping (with an emphasis on conducting a mass-trapping of an entire feral colony at once). All workshop attendees will become TNR certified, and NYC residents will gain access to no-cost spay/neuter and trap rental. Join the 1,500+ caretakers trained to date!
