Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi all, 
I am struggling with building a TNR program for our department and I'm wondering if anyone has contact information or would like to volunteer themselves to be my mentor.  I have seen all the resources available for building this program and understand the goal, but I have a few challenges I would like to work through. I would really like to have a more personal conversation about this program to really describe our plight and explore options. 

Thank you,

I'm happy to talk with you also Malinda.   Our organization is grassroots in Tulsa, OK and a non-profit vs. municipal shelter.  But we do work with our shelter and have created some great shortcuts together to make RTH more successful.     ttowntnr@gmail.com

Hello Samantha, I'm Myriam from Charleston, SC. Would you mind sharing the same information with me, please? I've been feeling like all the doors are closed here.

Hi Malinda! 

I would be happy to chat with you as well. In my role, I helped found the TNR program for my shelter. September was the 1 year anniversary of our program, and in October we TNR'ed our 200th cat! 

A couple ways I've helped build community support include hosting an Outdoor Cat Shelter building/decorating event for kids and presenting at high school Ecology classes.

I'm doing the same here in Charleston, SC. I'm trying to understand all the terminology related to TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), but I often feel overwhelmed. I've obtained some information from the Maddie's Pet Forum that may be helpful. I'd be happy to share it with you if you're interested.
