Presentation: The Secret Life of Community Cats: What science teaches us about free roaming cats in the Wenatchee Valley
Description:
Community cats are already part of life in many of our neighborhoods — but what does science say about the best way to manage cat populations humanely and effectively? This talk explores the research behind Trap-Neuter-Return, common myths about free-roaming cats, and what local TNR efforts are teaching us here in the Wenatchee Valley. Expect cats, data, and a few surprises.
