TNR stands for trap neuter release. This is a practice used to prevent the constant cycle of kittens going into shelters. Many shelters are resisting the use of TNR. Shelters highlight caring for one kitten and have no plan to address the underlying cause. Hannah Shaw, an animal rescuer and educator said it best, “If you are taking in kittens but you are not sterilizing the community cats, I have to wonder how on earth anyone can argue that, that is a correct use of resources.” Shelters need to learn the importance of TNR and we must shed light on this issue.

Many people don’t know that you can foster kittens! What does fostering kittens mean? Well it is just what it sounds like, you give kittens the proper care that they need until they reach 8-9 weeks old. Many shelters don’t have the proper resources and time to care for so many kittens at once. That is why fostering is a big part in helping more kittens get the care they deserve.
