“People are mad…they want kittens and now there are no kittens!”


Dr. Newman describes how the Barry County Animal Shelter implemented a TNR program — with the help of the MRFRS Mentoring Program and PetSmart Charities — that has resulted in a drastic reduction in unwanted litters among unowned cats. She describes her humble beginnings as a spay/neuter advocate — “fixing 12 cats a month wasn’t going to cut it” — and how she sought advice and then, the cooperation of local officials and volunteer vets to help address the problem.  Her advice to those facing similar challenges?  “Just do it.”
