There are stray and feral cat rescuers and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) volunteers throughout Long Island who will offer some assistance with the feral and stray cats in your area. We can learn a lot from these local heroes and draw inspiration from them to take action.

Even if you do nothing else, if you see a stray or homeless cat often wandering in your backyard, street, or parking lot, it's important that you alert someone who can humanely intervene. Please visit the website of the Long Island Cat Project for information and resources that will make it easy for you to do the right thing.

The most important thing you can do for a cat is to have it spayed or neutered. Whether you are feeding a single stray or feeding an entire colony of ferals, one person can make a huge difference by helping to stop the cycle of millions of unwanted kittens being born and killed every year.
