Increasing Your Impact With Targeted TNR
Led by the team at Neighborhood Cats, this workshop examines why spay/neuter volume alone isn’t enough to create lasting reductions in community cat populations—and what successful programs do differently. Instead of spreading resources thin, effective TNR programs focus on identifying areas of highest need and strategically concentrating efforts to achieve meaningful, long-term impact.
This session introduces the concept of targeted TNR, a data-informed approach that helps programs of any size maximize results while using time, funding, and volunteer capacity more efficiently.
What You’ll Learn
Why Targeting Matters in TNR
Learn why high sterilization numbers don’t always translate into sustained population decline—and how targeted approaches change that outcome. This section breaks down the science and strategy behind focusing efforts where cats are most concentrated.
How to Identify and Focus on High-Need Areas
Explore practical methods for identifying hotspots, prioritizing locations, and directing resources to achieve high sterilization rates. You’ll learn how to apply targeting principles whether you’re running a small volunteer-driven program or managing a large-scale TNR initiative.
