Community Education
We conduct free TNR Workshops throughout the year in
northwest suburban Cook and DuPage Counties. At our workshops, attendees:
-
see an informational video by
Alley Cat Allies, the national feral cat resource
-
hear a brief introduction to PACT Humane Society
-
witness a trapping demonstration and receive tips for safely trapping even the smartest cats
-
walk away with lists of resources for low-cost spay/neuter veterinary services for feral cats,
where to get a trap, our
TNR Checklist, a step-by-step guide through the TNR process, and more...
Advocacy & Community Service
A small but dedicated group of CORE program volunteers:
- Responds to phone calls from feral cat caregivers received on our voice mailbox.
- Actively seeks to change local ordinances to favor TNR by meeting with town officials, Chiefs of Police, Animal Control Officers, mayors, the press, and others.
- Assists townhome or condo association residents who are facing penalties for
feeding feral cats.
- Participates in Chicagoland Stray Cat Coalition (CSCC), a consortium of animal shelters and animal advocacy groups, based in the city of Chicago, for the purpose of advancing TNR.
- Guides and provides on-site support to feral cat caregivers in neighborhood relations campaigns.
- Aids the elderly or those requiring physical assistance in the TNR of their feral cats.
