Understanding Community Cats

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the most humane, effective way to care for community cats and stop overpopulation. Through spay and neuter efforts, colonies are stabilized and healthy. If you spot an outdoor cat with a clipped left ear, called an eartip, that’s a badge of honor showing they are already fixed, vaccinated, and looked after by a caretaker. If you see community cats that need help, please help them! Check the resources below for guidance!

Dogs Are Family, Not Yard Ornaments

If a dog isn’t welcome inside your home, you shouldn’t have one. We firmly advocate against chaining dogs outside or treating them like property. Every dog deserves to live safely indoors, properly fed, and loved as part of the family. If you see this in your community, please be their voice and call for help! Check the resources below for guidance!
