Are Cats Taking Over the World? How You Can Help

There are over 800 million cats worldwide, with more than half living outdoors. A single unspayed female cat and her offspring can potentially produce thousands of kittens within a few years! This session examines the causes of rapid population growth and the impacts of cat overpopulation on communities. Explore effective management strategies like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and using cats for rodent control while discovering ways to support outdoor cats. Learn practical skills, such as creating DIY shelters using simple household materials, to provide essential resources for these cats and promote their well-being. Join us to gain hands-on experience in supporting outdoor cats while addressing population concerns!
