Our Mission is to humanely address the problem of cat overpopulation through high- intensity TNR (trap, neuter and return) and education, thereby preventing unwanted births, reducing procreation and colony growth and lowering shelter kitten intakes, and minimizing the impact of the cats on neighbors, the community, and the environment.

How TNR Enriches Our Community:

• Reduces burden on shelters: Unlike sporadic trapping and removal, STAR employs research-backed high-intensity TNR. This proven approach is the most humane and effective way to stabilize and gradually reduce community cat populations. Our work significantly decreases shelter intakes, freeing up resources and giving more cats a chance at a better life.

• Promotes a healthy ecosystem: TNR helps maintain a balanced ecosystem by stabilizing cat populations and reducing the potential for disease transmission among cats and wildlife.

• Fosters compassion: By promoting humane solutions for feral cats, STAR encourages community involvement and cultivates empathy for all living beings.
