Is being a coordinator something that you are good at? Do you like leading an activity? In Trap – Neuter – Return, you get to coordinate with Barangays, establishments, villages on how they can control the feral cat population in their area.
You will work hand-in-hand with the CARA catchers and clinic for the schedule of the TNR project. Join the TNR committee to be actively engaged in the community.
Help reduce feral cat population, prevent kittens from being thrown away and make the community aware that there is a humane way of helping the cats.
