It was <br />so beneficial to be able to bring to you a couple of my cats that needed to be fixed and have them returned to <br />live in harmony around my property. I did give the options to have adopted out. They were returned and i fell <br />in love and they are fed and happy but are NOT out having kittens, Not out fighting other male cats, etc. I <br />provide food water and shelter and when necessary, vet visits. <br /> <br />If it were not for the help of OCAC TNR that was offered in the past, I would most likely be having problems <br />with kittens being born and male cats fighting. <br /> <br />Since all my females are spayed one by OCAC and one male neutered by OCAC and returned, I rarely attract <br />other ferals. <br /> <br />I cannot express the IMPORTANCE OF TNR enough. I have also worked with small rescue groups that are in <br />need of assistance to spay and neuter and rely heavily on the vouchers. <br /> <br />TNR SAVES LIVES and PREVENTS OVERPOPULATION. I have been to your shelter prior to COVID and <br />was amazed at how clean and pleasant your facility was. There should not be the amount of euthanasia that I <br />am reading about. <br /> <br />I have lived in Orange County my whole life and my family owns a couple properties here. I would appreciate <br />and be proud to know that OCAC will again support local residents, and rescues by offering the TNR program <br />once again. There will be less suffering and less death for animals in our community. <br />Also, many residents in my Santa Ana neighborhood will gladly provide food and water to stray cats especially <br />since they help keep rodents away. The only thing the residents don't have ability or time to do, is responsibly <br />spay and neuter. TNR at OCAC will positively help the Santa Ana community and control the population of <br />feral suffering cats. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />
