PARTNERS: PEEKSKILL POLICE & TNR!
Trap Neuter Return Program | Peekskill NY (cityofpeekskill.com) “In an effort to effectively & humanely control the community cat population, the City has successfully used the TNR method over the last 5 years. TNR benefits the cats & the neighborhood. Other approaches for feral cats just don’t work...How you can Help: Contact 914 (this NY # is on the website) if you are feeding any cats in the neighborhood or surrounding area...Please do not wait until you see kittens to call for help...Please be assured that no harm will come to the cats and there will be no retribution to the feeders as long as there is cooperation with the TNR method.” (Editorial: Obtaining public’s trust is crucial to success. Not easy. Policies can change w/Administra-tions. ACOs can be key to establishing that trust w/colony caregivers & community.)
