And the TNR/exterminate debate rages on. Much has been made in these pages about the havoc that feral cats wreak on native birds. Just yesterday, Mike reported on a study finding that they are responsible for decimating populations of Hawaiian Petrels. Maybe Daleks could be trained to focus on feral cats?).

And when the option is rounding them up and killing them, TNR looks like an especially attractive option. And this is one of them. We are making a decision for sentient beings that we think will be better for both populations. But who cares about me? What do you all t hink?

Stephanie posted the first of a series of guest posts by yours truly about TNR and Project Treadstone over at her immensely popular site at Change.org. Thanks, Stephanie! Speaking of Project Treadstone, Powder Puff, seen below, died over the weekend. Each time I saw him he looked sickly.

What I do know is that I feel an urgency for the causes I care about that blogging, baking, giving money and doing TNR work simply doesn't satisfy. Not that I'm giving you a deadline. I still haven't figured it all out. It's a minuscule drop in an ever-overflowing bucket.

Finally, I was asked to participate in a new TNR group in my town that started largely because of my oodles of questions and setting of policy for Project Treadstone! There are now about 10 cats who are unsterilized, and next week the women at the site, with a little help from their friends, will start trapping again.

There is a document on the web site of the state department of health pertaining to feral cats: The Department of Health does not endorse or oppose the concept of establishing properly managed cat colonies utilizing trap-neuter-return (TNR) techniques. Those who violate the ordinance can be fined $200.

I rescue, I adopt, I do TNR, and I connect others to resources to do the same. And I can't fulfill my purpose if I'm a mess and I've lost my ability to be effective. So I take care of myself. And part of meeting my own needs, by the way, is the need to care for animals who have been discarded.

She is one individual whose care could easily fund a small animal sanctuary for at least a year, or start untold TNR efforts, or provide clean water to thousands of people. question is important when it comes to adopting special needs animals, like Violet Rays, our rescue greyhound.

I have mixed feelings about TNR. Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feral cat colony organizations. It started with donation requests for spay and neutering cats but then quickly transferred to a trap, neuter and release organization. On the one hand, it’s better than doing nothing with a feral cat colony.

Project Treadstone If anyone in Palm Beach County wants to get involved in the Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) of feral cats, now is the time, as the county's Spay Shuttle is back in business (but for a whopping $40/cat rather than the original $15), and Pahokee ($25/cat) is open as well.
