Making a Positive Difference in the Lives of Cats and the South Shore Area Community

South Shore Felines' mission is to humanely reduce the population of Community Cats via
education and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). We are not a shelter to accept cats from the public.
____________________________________________________________________________

Reducing the number of homeless and free-roaming cats and treating them humanely requires a community-wide effort. Positive impacts include reducing:

Taxpayers' cost
Intake and euthanasia rates
Health risks (rabies, round worm)
Nuisances and complaints (odor, noise, feces, fleas)
Wildlife predation (birds, small mammals)
Animal stress (life expectancy, high kitten mortality)

Over decades of experience with multiple methods around the world, the common approaches of do nothing, feeding bans, and trap and remove have proven to be ineffective. The only proven approach to date is Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).

TNR involves colony management within targeted geographic areas, spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, and ear-tipping (removing the left ear tip to indicate a TNR cat). Over time, with continued monitoring, the colony is substantially reduced if not eliminated.
