Learning Research Service Volunteer Engagement

Over five thousand feral cats from across PEI have been vaccinated and neutered since the start of the feral cat neutering programme (Trap, Neuter, Return – TNR) in 2001. This programme, carried out by senior veterinary students and veterinarians at AVC in conjunction with the community-based Cat Action Team (CAT), was initiated with Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre funding, with subsequent support from the Pegasus Family Foundation. Other Island veterinary clinics now take part in the programme through additional funds raised by CAT. The goals of the TNR programme are to decrease cat over-population on PEI and to improve the life of the cats. Dr. Foley and CAT have provided advice on establishing TNR programmes to several other communities in Canada.
