Come learn how to care for the feral and stray cats in your community and make use of the many resources now available to assist you. A special training workshop, presented by the NYC Feral Cat Initiative, a program of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and Neighborhood Cats, will be held:

Sunday, August 26, 2007

1:00–4:00 p.m.

Bronx Library Center

310 East Kingsbridge Road

Bronx, NY 10458

(718) 579-4200

Instructors: Jamie Lehman & Teresa Noto

All steps in setting up a managed colony will be covered, including establishing good community relations, feeding, building and placing shelters, arranging vet care, finding recovery space, safely handling feral cats, and trapping (with an emphasis on conducting a mass-trapping of an entire feral colony at once).

All workshop attendees will become TNR certified, and NYC residents will gain access to no-cost spay/neuter and trap rental. Join the 1,000+ caretakers trained to date!

Advance registration is required, but there is no charge to attend.

For more information and to register, contact Neighborhood Cats at (212) 662-5761 or nycferalcat@aol.com, or visit the Neighborhood Cats web site.
