Benifits of TNR
The differences it makes
Feral and stray cats benifit greatly from TNR. One female cat can give brith to 420,000 of kittens in a year. With TNR we stop the cyle of suffing for so many kittens. Cat fights also stop, as cats fight for territory or female cats. Cat fights lead to desese among cats to be spred such as FIV or feline leukemia. If a female cat has FIV she may pass on the disease to her kittens though milk. Male cats markings and meowing lead to people deeming them as pest. TNR will elemate these behaviors from male cats and make them less likely to bother anyone. TNR is a great benifit even to people who dont like cats.
