Interview! Audra Farrell, Community Cares Program Supervisor at the San Francisco SPCA
"I have found even the fiercest of ferals can be really great moms, so their concern is more taking care of their kittens than have to deal with us."
Through the Mama from the Streets program, San Francisco's shelters are combining TNR for feral mothers with adoption of their kittens. As San Francisco's SPCA's Community Cares Program Supervisor, Audra advocates strongly for this humane way of gradually decreasing numbers in cat colonies. She discusses the correlation between TNR numbers and shelter intake as a positive gauge for TNR effectiveness, and believes spay/neuter education is key to winning the battle against overpopulation.
