BACKGROUND:

October 16th is nationally recognized as "National Feral Cat Day,” a day dedicated to educating communities about feral cat (community cat) population control, including trap-neuter-return (TNR), the most humane and effective means of reducing community cat populations. Contra Costa County is dedicated to providing resources to educate the community about TNR programs, promoting the importance of low cost spay and neuter options in our County and supporting groups and individuals that will help to manage the free roaming population of cats. In light of these efforts, Contra Costa Animal Services seeks to increase community cat awareness by recognizing October 16^th as Community Cat Day in Contra Costa County.
