• Understand more about how cats affect our native wildlife

• Meet adoptable kittens, of course!

There is no simple solution for the current outdoor cat crisis. There are over 100 million outdoor cats in the United States, who kill over 2 billion birds and other native wildlife each year. TNR (trap, neuter, release) can be a hot topic of debate across many groups of people who deeply care about both cats and birds. Regardless of opinion, there is no easy solution to this human-created problem. 

Based on what we see in our community (too many outdoor cats with too few resources to solve the problem), we support organizations like Community Cat Club, who are doing the hard work to reduce the outdoor cat population. Over 80% of the nearly 1,200 cats they have trapped in 2024 have been adopted, placed in foster care, or moved to an adoption partner. They are doing the work and we fully support their efforts!

The top three causes of native bird decline and deaths in the United States are all human-created problems:

#1 - Habitat loss

#2 - Outdoor cats

#3 - Window Collisions 

Humans, we have work to do!

The biggest actions cat owners can take to positively affect native wildlife is to always spay and neuter their cat and keep their pet cat indoors or on a leash. This is good for cats AND good for birds and wildlife.
