SPAY DAY3

 
Eddy is ready to be released.  The males were returned the next day to their territory.  The females had two days' recovery.  

Gracie is ready to be released. No more kittens flooding the neighbourhood !

 

Lulu just before release.  No more kittens flooding the neighbourhood!

 

Smudge wants to go back home !

 

Tundra is waiting for release

  Taylor helped return 3 of the cats with me.  Here she is releasing Gracie
 

At another station, Taylor releases Tundra

 

This is Valentina who I've just released at her feeding station. 

 

She was hungry and went straight for the food

 

In a moment, another of her friends joined her

 
And here comes a third friend.  There are at least 5 orange cats at this station.  They all look fairly similar.   I think that's a smile on her face.  She now has her freedom back, a full tummy, her friends around her . . . . and NO MORE KITTENS !
          

Now she will go find her other friends.  There are about 30 here.

   
 

WHY DO WE HAVE FERAL CATS ON THE NORTH SHORE ?

There are ideal conditions on the North Shore to sustain a large on-going feral cat population.

1.    We are a port city
2.    Rail cars continuously spill grain along the North Vancouver waterfront
3.    Residents are composting more which attracts rodents to vegetable peelings, egg shells and other edible scraps
4.    Our coastal weather is benign 

These factors combine to support an enormous rodent population which generates a significant food supply for feral cats.

Trap/Neuter/Return or ("TNR") is the most cost effective, humane way to help both the community and the feral cats.
