Re: to catlovers
In Just One Day We Saved Thousands of Shelter Animals From Slaughter
Natham J Winograd
Twelve years ago on June 11, 2001, the No Kill sheltering movement went from the theoretical to the real. As I drove into the parking lot for the first time as the head of the open admission animal control shelter in Tompkins County, New York, an agency which took in all animals for the 10 towns and cities that made up the County, I was met at the front door by a truck driver with five kittens he didn't want. Spaying his cat had not been a priority. And to him, the kittens were no longer "his problem." Whether they lived, died or anything in between was not his concern. By handing them over to us, in his estimation he had done his duty. He had brought them to the taxpayer-funded shelter, the animal control authority for the entire county, and they were now our responsibility.
For most shelters, this is the point at which the breakdown that leads to killing occurs, a killing that claims the lives of roughly four million animals in this country every year. The current view is that killing the kittens is, in large part, a fait accompli, and that the fault for the killing lies not with those who are actually doing the killing -- shelter workers -- but with the American public, in this case, the truck driver who was relinquishing his kittens. According to traditional sheltering industry dogma, it was his failure to spay his cat, his failure to make a lifetime commitment to the kittens that would have been to blame had the shelter in Tompkins County chosen to kill, rather than find homes for, the animals he no longer wanted. But this view, while endemic to the culture of animal control, is not accurate.
First, it is because of scenarios like this that shelters exist in the first place -- to provide a safety net of care for animals in need of a helping hand. Second, it is often the practices of the shelter itself that lead to killing, not the mere fact of animal homelessness. If a shelter does not maintain adequate adoption hours or has poor customer service, refuses to work with volunteers, foster parents, or rescue groups, fails to treat and rehabilitate sick, injured or traumatized animals, the shelter is not doing what is necessary to bring their killing to an end. And, unfortunately, this is precisely what is happening at shelters nationwide, including the shelter in Tompkins County before I became its Executive Director 12 years ago.
Thankfully for those kittens, on the day they were relinquished, the truck driver no longer lived in a community whose shelter still subscribed to those views. On that day, the Tompkins County SPCA explicitly rejected the policies legitimized and championed by shelters nationwide. Killing those kittens was not an option. Instead, we found homes for each of them. And from that humble beginning, the first full-service No Kill animal control shelter -- and thus the first No Kill community -- came into being.
Since that time, over 150 communities across the country have followed the same model that allowed Tompkins County to end the killing of healthy and treatable animals and have achieved the same level of lifesaving success. These shelters represent more than 400 cities and towns across America, with some posting save rates as high as 99%. To commemorate their success and the success of the first shelter to prove that a better, kinder, gentler form of animal sheltering is possible, animal protection groups declared June 11 a national "No Kill" day, a day that works to spread No Kill success to every shelter in America through a campaign called "Just One Day."
Just One Day asks shelters nationwide to explore and experiment with alternatives to killing that have already proven so successful in those communities which have implemented them so that they, too, can end the killing of the healthy and treatable animals in their care by finding them loving, new homes instead.
This year, roughly 1,200 organizations, including some of the largest animal control shelters in the nation, answered the call to participate. They put down their "euthanasia needles" and picked up cameras instead: to photograph and market animals. They reached out to rescue groups, hosted adoption events, stayed open for extended hours and asked their communities to help them empty the shelter the good way. And in communities across the country, that is what happened. Last year, this effort resulted in roughly 9,000 adoptions nationwide on June 11, erasing one day's worth of killing. This year, we hoped to save over 10,000 lives. And by all indications, we did.
In Escambia County, Florida, they had their single best adoption day ever. In Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, 76 animals found a home. In San Antonio, Texas, 117 animals were placed. Similar stories occurred in shelters across the country, including shelters with historically high rates of killing and low numbers of adoptions. The number of groups participating and the number of animals finding homes was truly inspiring and showed what could be accomplished when groups come together, united by the common goal of saving lives, and laser-focus on that achievement.
But the news gets even better: If last year's success was any indication, many shelters will continue to save lives in the coming days, weeks, months and even years after experiencing first-hand the incredible potential afforded by appealing to the public's concern and compassion for shelter animals.
Indeed, one of the primary goals of the Just One Day campaign is to not only save animals through adoption on June 11, it is to get shelters resistant to the principles of the No Kill philosophy -- of marketing animals, of asking the public for help, of being open for adoptions at times that are more convenient for the working public and families, of using the media to save lives and of partnering with rescue groups -- to commit to trying these news ways of operating.
When they see the great potential afforded by these innovations, the hope is that many of them will continue to do those things not just on June 11: but on June 12, June 13, June 14, and well beyond. It's the first step in the larger journey to achieve a No Kill nation. In 2012, one new community per week achieved a save rate in the 90th percentile. This year's event, with 400 more participants, promises to continue that exciting trend.
In addition to the shelters and rescue groups participating, the media also picked up the baton as newspaper and television reports across the country reported on local Just One Day events and successes. And in Colorado, Governor John Hickenlooper even signed a proclamation declaring June 11 a No Kill day throughout the state.
Of course, the greatest appreciation belongs to those who opened their hearts to the animals -- the thousands of adopters who rose to the occasion and welcomed a new member of the family into their homes. One adopter wrote that they were so excited the entire family could not sleep the night before.
On June 12, shelters opened their doors, knowing with pride and satisfaction that they cleared out their shelter the good way and not by killing. And not only did they save precious lives, but they made it easier to continue saving even more, their cages and kennels were now ready and available to animals who need a helping hand. For the public, for shelters which willingly participated, for all those new adopters and most of all, for the animals, June 11, 2013 was a good day, a happy day, an important day, and an unqualified success: perhaps the safest day for animals in shelters in U.S. history. Thousands of animals were adopted, 1,200 shelters and rescue groups came together, adopters welcomed a new family member, the incinerators remained shuttered and the morgues stayed empty. We erased more than one day's worth of killing in the U.S.

Torre Argentina catsanctuary in Rome Italy

The authorities are threatening to
close the Association of the Cat Colony at Torre Argentina, Rome.
They are using the excuse that the association occupies space within
a Roman Temple. They pretend to forget that concrete pillars holding
up a road cut right into the temple. They have abandoned the other
tenples that are older by several centuries yet for their own
political ends they threaten the health and safety of thousand of
cats. The association has sterilized more than 29,000 cats within the
last decade, they maintain 40 other colonies with food and medicines.
Without heir work Rome would be filled with sick and maimed cats, as
it was after WW II for many years.

PAM´s TNR blog
march-april 2013
One highlight of recent trapping jobs was a colony I trapped along with my faithful trapping partner. It started with the free Az Humane Society clinic in early April where we met Don. He brought in 14 cats and indicated he had a LOT more to fix - an understatement. To top it off, while checking in at the clinic, one of the cats was giving birth in the trap! BTW this happens often as cats become stressed in the traps while waiting to be fixed. Often the kittens are born prematurely and do do not survive. Those kittens were lucky and went to foster with the mom cat and we began to make a plan to get the rest of the cats. Mom was later fixed and returned.
We went back the next night and caught eight more female cats with the drop-trap and made plans to do more as soon as possible. This was a desperate situation and needs help. With so many wanting assistance (because they waited too long to call and all the cats were now pregnant), we could not go back right away resulting in more kittens being born. We did another 36 cats on Dr. Kit's mobile and at N. Phoenix S/N Clinic on 4/22. After a long day at the clinic (not to mention having to aftercare 36 cats), I managed to go back to Don's that night and trapped another 16 cats for the next day. I was there after dark navigating the overwhelming hazards on the property. We got six more the next morning with the dropper and other one the following morning when releasing the second days crowd. This was a male requiring yet another round trip to S. Phoenix to release one male cat. With these seven more total of 82 cats were TNR'd at this colony. We also rescued a total of 19 kittens for a total of 101 cats from this one colony. There are still about 10 cats left to fix so we will be back soon with the trusty drop-trap. It will be a challenged with 82 cats already fixed.
This job clearly demonstrated that there are challenges to trapping a big colony to make sure ALL the cats are fixed. This was clearly an example of someone who waited too long to do TNR. I might mention we also fixed seven dogs belonging to residents living on property and an additional two pet cats.
The importance of TNR cannot he emphasized enough. The example above is just one many more similar situations we deal with routinely. In March I did 175 cats and in April, 152 cats. This does not include the pickup,transport, release and aftercare for numerous other caregivers. The 2013 kitten season is nearly over (it is now June), and as I say every year; "it was the worst kitten season ever". Perhaps it is because we had some alternatives for rescue not available in years past. As Summer begins we are now fixing kittens and soon it will be the teenagers - ALL whose births could have been prevented if action had been taken sooner...Now the voice mails say; "I have a mother cat and kittens in my shed".
I wish I had time to share the many other experiences and perhaps one day I will. I would like to share the experiences with the caregivers, not just the cats. Many are grateful and appreciative...others are demanding and think i am their personal slave. Yet somehow I keep going...It will be 10 years in November.
That know me know that I am focused on the problem and the solution. Having worked as an engineer for 26 years and solving difficult problems, I have spent a lot of time looking at the problem of "too many cats" and not enough homes for them. Recently I have concluded that stabilizing colonies is the solution, not fixing all the cats. So this is what I advocate and work on. Focusing on what I call "pods" of cats and preventing more "pods" from developing is what is needed.
Preventing kittens from being born is important but it is even more important, when this cannot be prevented, to prevent new "pods" from forming. This happens when caregivers give away kittens without fixing them first. Followup is also important and a lot of time is spent on this task (i.e. making sure any new cats are fixed). It is also important to find these pods early to minimize the time and energy needed to stabilize that pod.
So what can you do? Get involved in your neighborhood working to keep your "pod under control. Think of this concept of overlapping circles on a grid. There will always be truly feral cats out there but fed cats will ALL be spayed and neutered. It takes a serious commitment but is doable - I know because I have done it. I will close with my favorite quote about commitment and motivation: "Do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda from Star Wars
So go out there and make a difference in the lives of free-roaming cats...

Big cats are not housecats and shouldn´t be kept in cages in backyards or other places by private owners.

The cage is still not big but now there are grass and toys to play with.
I suppose it´s a quarantine for the tiger

Serious criminals take care of little feral kittens and socialize them.It´s easiest to socialize them
when they are in a small room .
I wish siblings could stay together and that they weren´t adopted out until they are 12 weeks.

There are too many feral cats at Hawaii Kai Park and Ride.They were 20 but now there are much more cats.
If only they had done TNR when they were lesser cats.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/wnI6iIRK2hA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
They are doing TNR now and some cats are adopted but it seems cat number does not decrease.
Maybe that´s because more cats are abandoned there and they haven´t made TNR on so many cats yet.
They should have a spay day fixing many cats at the same day.
Nearly 20 percent of Oahu residence feed cats they don´t consider their own .70% of those don´t know if the cats are spayed or neutered.
It´s the same problem in many places, people feed cats but don´t think it´s their responsibility to fix them.
When they finally call an animal rescue the number of cats has increased

Maybe that´s because more cats are abandoned there and they haven´t made TNR on so many cats yet.
They should have a spay day fixing many cats at the same day.
Nearly 20 percent of Oahu residence feed cats they don´t consider their own .70% of those don´t know if the cats are spayed or neutered.
It´s the same problem in many places, people feed cats but don´t think it´s their responsibility to fix them.
When they finally call an animal rescue the number of cats has increased
