While you may know that Cat Tales is a rescue that helps find homes for cats and kittens, we want to be sure you know that another large part of our mission is Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) a crucial part of cat rescue. If you have adopted from a rescue, it’s possible that your kitty was rescued as part of a TNR project.

Here’s why  TNR is crucial to ending the cat overpopulation problem. Two uncontrolled breeding cats create the following:

2 litters a year at a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter.
With continued breeding:
Year 1 = 12 cats
Year 2 = 66 cats
Year 3 = 2,201 cats
Year 4 = 3,822 cats
Year 5 = 12,680 cats
Multiplying to a staggering

Year 10 = 80,399,780 cats

And that’s conservative, as many cats have more than two litters a year. This is why we spay and neuter. This is why TNR is crucial.
