Neighborhood Cats, a feral cat support group based in New York City,
teaches caregivers how to trap and alter an entire colony at one time
to achieve the highest impact on the population.
"This is a group effort, a community effort and I urge communities
around the city to do the same thing. It is so rewarding."
