DRAFT  <br />•TNR (trap neuter return) will be utilized in established feral colonies to <br />decrease the number of kittens produced and increase the overall health of <br />the colony. Colonies will be identified with a caretaker and identified as <br />individuals so vaccine, reproductive capacity and health of each individual can <br />be maintained. OCAS will try to subsidize the cost of spay/neuter, vaccines, <br />identification and registration. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />•Timeline for success <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> TIMETABLE   <br /> Initiative Outcome  <br />Year 1 Education when adopting from <br />OCAS <br />Indoor cat promotion <br /> Education via Veterinary <br />Community  <br />Indoor cat promotion  <br /> Continued coordination with <br />Kids4Kindness regarding schools  <br />Indoor cat promotion, spay/neuter <br />education  <br /> Public Affairs Campaign   <br />    <br />Year 2 Partnership formations what are the mutual or common <br />ground needs?  <br /> Program evaluation framework <br />created <br />baseline database, shared <br />guidelines for tracking and <br />evaluation <br /> Expand $20 Fix to Cat <br />Caretakers  <br />increase number spay/neuters  <br />Year 3 Fosters for Feral Kittens reduce free roamers  <br />    <br /> Evaluation of Program compare year 1 to year 2  <br /> Identify areas for Pilot Program   <br />Year 4  Pilot Program increase number spay/neuter  <br />5
