We hope this week has been enlightening and informative. I have a few things to share to wrap-up TNR Week. First, I want to thank everyone who helped with the posts this week including Justine Pimlot, Ellen Perry Berkeley, and Becky Robinson. I’d also like to thank Alison Grasheim and Elizabeth Parowski from Alley Cat Allies for their help, as well as photographer Troy Snow for his amazing feral cat images.
A special thank you to Peter Wolf for his contributions this week. I encourage all of you to read his blog Vox Felina if you are interested in changing the debate surrounding TNR.
Second, we had some technical issues with the site yesterday, so if you were unable to leave a comment on the local resources post, you should be able to do so now.
Third, here are the lucky winners of the Feral For Life giveaway. First Prize winner gets a t-shirt and bumper sticker:
- Tori (comment #13)
Second Prize winners get bumper stickers:
- Kristie (comment #17)
- Lori (comment #84)

Thank you to all the readers who left comments this week and to everyone who participates in TNR and cat rescue. Let’s continue to work together to spread the word about these important issues.

Loved all of the TNR Week articles, and love the shirt. Love “VOX FELINA” as well — just discovered it the other day via others in the cat advocacy/TNR community. It’s painfully slow for those of us who care, but may the truth about TNR and managed colonies’ benefits to communities continue enlightening people all over the world, and encouraging them to do what they can to save, provide for, and enjoy their own communities’ cats — any lifestyle they have, ever one is a masterpiece.

What a wonderful, refreshing week this has been reading all about the feral cat info and the gorgeous pictures! This has been very informative and have re-posted all of it on our ACAT facebook page too! Thank you and I hope you do this kind of thing again. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the furniture, clothes, toys, etc. that you regularly post but this week has been SUPER special!

I missed it! There is a beautiful feral cat in my apartment complex who i left food out for for about 5 months, and one night i came home later than usual, and saw the silhoutte (sp?) of a smaller cat next to her. “Cali” had a baby! I really wooed the kitten, this is such a dangerous place for cats (used to be a whole feral community before i moved here, now just maybe 3 or 4). He was starting to come in the house and i was going to adopt him, after establishing a LOT of trust… and then the blizzard hit. Then another one. I haven’t seen either for days, but when… (hopefully “when”, please send good thoughts, i am so worried!) – when i find the kitten, i am going to not let him out of my sight
So i’ll have to look for your tips and see if there is anything i can do to get all of these sweeties to safety.
