Empathy, insight and dogged determination brought our founders together in 2005 to find innovative and more effective solutions to the overpopulation pressure on shelters, as well as conflicts that were producing some pretty radical and dangerous proposals.

By working with outstanding veterinary professionals and other volunteers who want to make a real difference, we’ve built a successful and stable Trap Neuter Vaccinate and Release (TNVR) program. Together we’re curbing the growth of feral cat populations across Northeastern Wisconsin and helping reduce shelter intakes. We empower property owners and neighbors to become colony caretakers, who play a key role in engaging our program and monitoring current populations in their areas.

We work with local governments to make policy changes that embrace and develop humane solutions to address problem populations, and offer their constituents options to find the best fit for each situation.

If you’re a pet owner, you can also help by accepting the responsibility to spay or neuter your pets. Unsupervised outdoor activity of pets can contribute to feral population growth. If you find yourself unable to care for a pet, please find shelter/rescue resources to find a new home – never abandon a pet cat outdoors.

Together we can humanely solve conflicts and reduce the overwhelming intake of unwanted kittens in shelters. Our team of licensed veterinarians, veterinary technicians, volunteers and colony caretakers in the field are already improving the overall health and wellbeing of feral cat populations across Northeastern Wisconsin.
