About the Coalition

The Toronto Feral Cat Coalition was formed in 2010 when Toronto Animal Service (TAS) received a grant to start a spay/neuter program to address the number of homeless cats in Toronto. Together, city animal services, humane organizations, local rescues, and concerned individuals came together to create and promote Canada’s first large-scale TNR initiative. The members of the Coalition listed below continue to meet and discuss the ongoing TNR needs of Toronto. As a result of this collaboration and the hardworking volunteers managing or helping to manage colonies over 15,000 cats have been spayed/neutered so far.

 

Our Mandate

  • Help reduce feral cat over-population in Toronto via TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and accessible spay/neuter clinics in a coordinated manner.

  • Educating and building awareness amongst cat owners and caregivers about the breadth of resources available for TNR and colony management in Toronto.

  • Advocating with politicians and supporting the ongoing welfare of Toronto’s colonies.
