| Workshops will teach Chicago residents about feral cats and Trap-Neuter-Return programs. |
Nonprofit organization Alley Cat Allies has targeted the city of Chicago for a campaign to increase feral cat education and awareness in an effort to reduce their numbers by non-lethal means.
Alley Cat Allies will host four free workshops per month at various locations in Chicago for those who would like to help reduce feral cat populations by stopping the breeding cycle. The workshops will provide information on how to implement Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs that allow cats to return to their colonies after they have been altered. The workshops also will teach how to safely steer cats away from areas where they are not wanted and provide a forum for caregivers to network and share ideas.
In addition, Alley Cat Allies is partnering with other Chicago-area organizations to help promote TNR programs, and volunteers are needed to pass out flyers as well as help trap and transport cats.
The next workshop is scheduled for Jan. 9. For details and locations, click here.
