Yes it’s true! The trapping adventures will continue. If you’re interested in joining us for any aspect of the activity, please follow the OP and send an email.
After yesterday’s on event at SAVE - Southern Alberta Veterinary Emergency, I headed into Calgary and came home with 23 traps from Canadian Animal Task Force. The other traps we’ll be using are already with BHARS, which means we’ll have quite the collection of feline Airbnb accommodations ready to go!
On September 9th alongside our parent rescue, BHARS, we will begin trapping two colonies, with approximately 70 cats expected to be TNVR’d. They’ll head to Calgary on the 10th, have surgery on the 11th, and come home on the 12th. If even half of those 70 cats are female, and each had an average of two litters over the next year, that’s roughly 70 litters prevented in ONE year. At an average of four kittens per litter, that could mean around 280 kittens never being born into already struggling outdoor colonies. 🤯 That’s the kind of impact TNVR can make!
And we need some extra people to pull this off! We’re looking for people who want to learn how to trap, especially anyone interested in continuing as part of our trapping team when our regular trappers aren’t available. If trapping isn’t your thing, we’ll also need help transporting cats and cleaning traps afterward. If you’d like to be part of these four very busy days, email [email protected] and tell us where you’d like to help. Seventy cats, two colonies and four days gives us one incredible opportunity to change what the future looks like for these colonies, and with our community beside us, we’re making it better, together. ♥️🩶🐾
