I have been an active member for 11 years and a Board member for the last 8 years. I have seen this organization grow as more and more people become involved with the plight of homeless cats. My first trap, neuter, return (TNR) project orginated in my parent's backyard. A feral cat had shown up and we started feeding it. I had heard about the Cat Network and was very eager to get this cat fixed. Through the low-cost sterilization certificates, I was able to sterilze another 19 cats in the neighborhood over the next few years. As result, it has been over 9 years since we've had a kitten in that colony, proof that TNR works!
