Saving Shelter Strays teams with Pipe Creek Animal Clinic

Saving Shelter Strays
Saving Shelter Strays teamed up with Pipe Creek Animal Clinic and held its second Trap-Neuter-Return (“TNR”) event for Bandera residents. As of this year, we have fixed 136 feral and porch cats.
Saving Shelter Strays has applied for a grant to fix an additional 475 feral cats in Bandera, which we hope will come through before the beginning of summer.
TNR is like the superhero of cat welfare. By trapping, neutering and returning feral cats to their communities, TNR programs work wonders for both the cats and the neighborhoods they call home. Not only does it prevent the constant cycle of unwanted litters, substantially reducing the feral cat population, it also helps reduce cat-related nuisances and unwanted killing of birds and reptiles.
Plus, it's a win for public health since it decreases the spread of diseases to resident pets, and TNR is all about compassion and practicality – it's the smart, humane way to keep our feline friends happy and our communities harmonious.
Please follow Saving Shelter Strays Facebook page for updates on upcoming TNR dates.
* A fundraiser will be held Saturday, May 11, from 2-5 p.m., at the Bandera Brewery. Events include live music, the Show and Shine Open Car Show and unique silent auction items. All proceeds will go to the homeless pets in Bandera.
