How to start a trap and neuter program in one's local area?
I live at the edge of town and animals are continually dumped here because it's a rural area. We have had so many animals that end up just running wild and then of course breeding and creating a problem. Yesterday a young cat showed up injured on my porch and I had to take this pitiful, terrified creature to animal control. It inspired me to want to start a trap, neuter and release. We'll never stop cats from being dumped, but if we could do something without great personal expense to help ease the population that would be ideal. Has anyone started or worked a program? Ideas? Steps?
There is a humane society out of Chicago that has a great website that can give you all kinds of information and resources on TNR. The organization is Tree House Humane Society and a link to the website is below. Good luck. You're idea is a compassionate one and hopefully will garner support from your community.

I got an idea for everybody here on hubpages: Go outside where you live and take a bunch of pictures. You might think you live in a shix-hole but the rest of us around the world would be fascinated to see your local area. Just power down the 'ol PC one afternoon and take 10 pics showing your area...

I've always been intrigued with the biblical story of Noah and the ark, so I thought I would examine what might have happened at that time.First of all, some assumptions were necessary. In the immortal words of Bill Cosby "I'm going to make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights and drown 'em...
