Neighborhood Cats
Neighborhood Cats was formed in 1999 to promote trap-neuter-return ("TNR") as the most
humane and effective means of solving New York City's severe feral cat overpopulation
crisis. This website contains a host of comprehensive articles, data and resource materials
aimed at their mission of “making TNR work for your community.”
ASPCA's Imagine Humane Innovation Bank
www.aspca.org
Read all about Neighborhood Cats and our approach to implementing TNR by trapping and
neutering entire feral cat colonies at once. "Mass trapping" is described in detail both in
terms of how to practice the method and its advantages. Look for future portraits of other
unique feral cat programs in the Imagine Humane Innovation Bank.

Feral Cat Coalition (San Diego)
www.feralcat.com
A leader in the organizing of mass spay/neutering clinics (where often over 100 cats are
treated one day each month), the Feral Cat Coalition achieved a 50 percent reduction in the
euthanasia of all cats over a five year period in San Diego County. Their site contains a long
list of articles on various feral cat issues, including one on how to set up a Feral Cat Coalition-
type of mass spay/neuter clinic.
Best Friends Animal Society
www.bestfriends.org
Best Friends is the force behind the "No More Homeless Pets" campaign, which seeks to
eliminate the euthanasia of cats and dogs. While much of their effort is directed towards
finding homes for adoptables, Best Friends also strongly supports TNR as a part of the
overall solution. They have fostered a number of groups, including Neighborhood Cats, and
assisted them in becoming effective partners in their campaign.
San Francisco SPCA
www.sfspca.org
This organization has led the way in making San Francisco a model for how a city can
humanely and effectively utilize TNR to control its feral cat population. After six years of
implementing TNR citywide, the SFSPCA was able to demonstrate an over 70 percent
reduction in the euthanasia rate for all cats in San Francisco - feral and domestic. Their
network is so strong, they are able to return to their colonies over 90 percent of the eartipped
cats turned into the city shelter. They offer materials on their programs, as well as a nine-part
video series on feral cat management.
