HEART OF TEXAS FERAL FRIENDS

The Animal Birth Control Clinic in Waco launched its "TNR campaign" in March 2007. For over a year, we have been helping local residents and businesses with TNR.

TNR stands for "Trap-Neuter-Return." TNR humanely stops the breeding of feral cats
and makes the community a better place for us all.

The Animal Birth Control Clinic's TNR program has a group of volunteers 
called the HEART OF TEXAS FERAL FRIENDS. 


Our goals are to:

•  Provide a humane alternative to feral cat control with Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR);
•  Educate the community about feral cats & the benefits of TNR; and,
•  Unify those who want to help feral cats. 

HEART OF TEXAS FERAL FRIENDS works to ensure that healthy feral cats
can peacefully co-exist in a safe environment within our community. 

Benefits of TNR include healthier feral cats, less cat fights and spraying, designated feeding stations kept clean by dedicated carefeeders, no unwanted litters of kittens, less tax dollars spent by the city to destroy feral cats at the shelter, and it makes Waco a great place to live!

 LEFT "EAR TIPPING" FOR EZ IDENTIFICATION!
