Check out the Project Purr Kitten Blog - brought to you by CUTE!

Over 80% of all kittens are born to feral (wild) cat colonies. In Baton Rouge, there are an estimated 60,000 feral cats. It's obvious that in order to solve the huge problem of homeless cats, we certainly must adress the feral cat issue in our area. The old method of dealing with feral cats was called "catch and Kill" - catch the animals and put them down. This draconian method has proven totally ineffective, not to mention inhumane!

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) has proven in numerous studies to be a humane, effective, and cost saving method of controlling the numbers of feral cats. The cats are gathered into humane traps, brought to a vet for spay/neuter and rabies vaccine, then released back to their habitat. Studies have shown that with this method, the numbers stabilize and gradually diminish over time. The nuisance behaviors also stop, while their interest in hunting insects and mice persist! Project Purr has begun its TNR program. If you have stray cats in your area and want to engage our help in doing the right thing, contact us. We can help with getting those cats sterilized so that they don't make even more cats! More info on TNR
