Caring for community cats
Often misunderstood and needlessly maligned, community cats comprise a significant percentage of the animals being killed in America’s shelters.
Community cats are unowned, free-roaming cats who live and thrive outdoors, rather than indoors as pets. Best Friends Animal Society and other organizations use the term “community cat” because these animals are part of the community in which they live and are valued and often cared for by community residents.

Trap-neuter-vaccinate-return: what it is and why it works
Evidence collected over the last two decades has confirmed that the archaic practice of rounding up outdoor cats and taking them to the shelter to be killed is not only inhumane, it’s ineffective in controlling community cat populations.
