Our trappers caught 137 cats this year and helped to spay another 11. 70 kittens went to shelters for adoption. 5 Adults did too. 2 cats were reunited with their owners, yielding one of my favorite moments of 2025. These numbers are pretty cool considering we only caught 62 cats last year. They get cooler if you break them down though.

Last year we caught 44 adult cats and 28 kittens.

We really stepped up our game this year with new trappers joining in on the fun and starting up the 501(c)3. As of right now we've caught 66 adult cats and 59 kittens.

If you're new to this the kittens generally get socialized and fostered by a local shelter, then adopted into a family. This gets them off the streets and back into families. By law, as well, they also have to be fixed so it ends the reproductive cycle for the cats we trap.

The adults, with trap neuter and release, get immunized and fixed and then released back where they come from in most cases to live out their lives. This protects neighborhood animals from rabies and stops rampant kitten births.

We recent flew past 80 cats on Thursday, catching 13 cats in quick succession this weekend to bring us to 85 captures for the year. 34 kittens and 51 adults. We're pretty close to 50% gone to adoption and 50% TNR.

The bulk of our efforts have still been Autumn Ridge and Uptown, where we'll hopefully see a big difference year over year. Cats will migrate, and it will likely reduce population in nearby neighborhoods as well.

We're on target to hit at least 100 captures this year which is awesome given last year we caught 60. That is a healthy percentage increase.

We just passed a major milestone with our trapping efforts for the year. This morning our volunteers teamed up to catch our 39th and 40th cats for the year! This is a big number for this point in the year, because last year we only trapped 60 all year between kittens and adult cats.
