Ep 643: Targeted TNR: Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck – Part 2

In Part 2 of this dynamic webinar, Bryan Kortis of Neighborhood Cats returns to guide us through the nuts and bolts of implementing a targeted TNR program. If Part 1 was the “why,” this episode is the “how.” Learn how to identify where to focus your resources using data such as shelter intake, complaint calls, and community insights. Bryan explains how to structure your outreach—from yard signs to door knocking—and how to overcome challenges like uncooperative caretakers or underestimated cat populations.

Through real-world case studies and expert recommendations, you’ll understand the importance of spatial continuity, microtargeting, and setting achievable sterilization goals, even when resources are tight. You’ll also explore tools for measuring program success—whether you’re tracking shelter intake, complaint reduction, or cat population decline through on-the-ground censuses.

Whether you’re targeting an entire city or a single block, this episode equips you with strategic tools to design and execute efficient, high-impact TNR campaigns.
