PAWS Animal Welfare Society shared the following information:
Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (CNVR) is internationally recognized as the most humane, safe and effective way to deal with the stray animal issue. Using this method, strays in a colony are caught, neutered, vaccinated and then returned to their territory.
CNVR has been enormously successful in reducing stray animal populations, and it also offers them peaceful lives in their territories. In the end, everyone benefits: animals and people. It is effective, responsible and humane. The breeding stops and feral animal populations are gradually reduced. Nuisance behaviors associated with mating and breeding such as fighting and aggression are virtually
eliminated.
CNVR recognizes there is a balance in our urban society, one that includes stray animals. It is a movement that will hopefully continue to grow as more and more when people see that it works.
PAWS is now embarking on a new CNVR journey in collaboration with local councils in certain areas. PAWS is targeting 150 animals per month, and this initiative will be funded by PAWS.
