PREVENTION & SAFETY TIPS
*VACCINATE PETS & COMMUNITY CATS
*Keep your pet up to date with annual rabies vaccinations. Fix & vaccinate the outdoor community cats in your neighborhood!
*TNRM (trap-neuter-return-manage) decreases the population AND helps prevent the spread of rabies!
* DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE Habituating wildlife to being fed is not good for wildlife or the cats. If you feed colony cats, feed in the mornings/ daytime only. If you must feed at night, only put enough food for the cats, pick up leftover food and bowls.
*ALWAYS USE A HUMANE TRAP! No matter how friendly or tame, please do NOT handle cats or kittens of unknown vaccine status. SAFETY FIRST!
