The lives of feral cats throughout New York City have been improved this year thanks to the NYC Feral Cat Initiative (NYCFCI) and dedicated TNR colony caretakers. Photo by Ferals In Peril NYC Eartips: Fall/Holiday 2010 The E-Newsletter of the New York City Feral Cat Initiative Welcome to the Fall/Holiday 2010 issue of NYC Eartips, the e-newsletter of the New York City Feral Cat Initiative (NYCFCI). We hope you enjoy reading about some of the activities and accomplishments that have occurred over the past several months, thanks to efforts by the NYCFCI and dedicated colony caretakers around the city. If you are just discovering the NYCFCI, welcome! The NYCFCI is a joint program of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and Neighborhood Cats, two private non-profit organizations committed to solving New York City's feral cat overpopulation crisis through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Through our e-newsletter, we hope not only to keep you informed of our progress but also to inspire you to get involved in helping the feral and stray cats in your neighborhood. If you are already involved, then we hope our newsletter and our website will provide you with useful information that will help you work more effectively with the cats in your care. Thank you for being a part of our efforts to make New York City a safer place for the cats in your community! If you have comments or suggestions for this newsletter, we welcome them at eartips@NYCFeralCat.org. And if you haven't already, please visit our website at www.NYCFeralCat.org. Together, we can make a difference for feral and free-roaming cats in New York City.
Best wishes and happy holidays,
