Thanks to the support of New York cat advocates, the TNR Funding Bill, SB 1081, has passed the Senate Finance Committeenow it needs to be brought to a vote in the Senate. Outdoor cats have a critical need for spay and neuter services, but currently, New York’s spay/neuter fund is not authorized to support Trap-Neuter-Return projects. The crucial TNR Funding Bill must be put to a vote.

Please call Majority Leader, Senator John J. Flanagan, and respectfully ask that SB 1081 be brought to a vote: 518-455-2071.

To increase the likelihood that the TNR Funding Bill will be voted on, keep your call short, polite, and focused on these points:

  • Please bring SB 1081 to a vote.
  • When impounded in shelters, community cats are nearly always euthanized, at great cost to taxpayers.
  • SB 1081 would save the lives of community cats by managing the population through Trap-Neuter-Return, a humane program that would save taxpayer dollars.
