Feral cats, the semi-wild offspring of abandoned domestic cats, live and reproduce in our streets, parks, and backyards and number in at least the tens of thousands in New York City alone. When unneutered and unmanaged, they contribute significantly to overcrowding in our shelters and higher euthanasia rates. Through TNR, the cats' living conditions are greatly improved and the population is controlled. NYCFCC provides a forum for involved organizations to share information and join together to promote TNR. Participating NYCFCC Organizations Animal Care & Control of New York City (AC&C) American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) CSM Stray Foundation (USA) Inc.

Any member of the Mayor's Alliance with a substantial TNR program is eligible to join. NYCFCC members cooperate through:
