It started with donation requests for spay and neutering cats but then quickly transferred to a trap, neuter and release organization. I have a dog, cats (domestic and feral), birds raccoons, hawks, owls, coyotes, foxes, bunnies and mice…they all share the yard and the woods. I have mixed feelings about TNR.
