Community Cat Coalition of Edmonds mission is, first and foremost, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Because without this managed humane population control, the City of Edmond now has *thousands* of homeless, neglected, suffering cats and kittens trying to survive in our storm drains, alleys, yards, under houses and apartment buildings, abandoned buildings, industrial and public areas, or any place where there are resources (food, shelter, mates). At its essence, TNR is not about rescuing cats, its about population control and permanently reducing the number of feral cats in an area. Its not about getting a wonderful cat a great home, its about lowering stray intake and euthanasia rates, reducing costs for animal control, and creating better, less hostile environments for the cats. In addition, spay/neuter of the cats eliminates common nuisance behaviors such as yowling and foul odor, and vaccinating them for rabies also provides a public health benefit.
