-Project Outline-

 

____The San Marcos branch of Trap-Neuter-Release-Maintain (TNRM) and its parent organization, Pet Prevent-a-Litter of Central Texas (PALS), have teamed up with CATS in order to digitally document existing feral cat populations within Hays County. Feral cat (felis catus) communities consist of cats that have been born from lost or abandoned cats, therefore unaccustomed to regular human contact. San Marcos TNRM has been efficiently trapping feral cats, neutering and spaying as well as other veterinarian vaccinations, and have safely returned them to their habitats in a humane manner for several years now.  CATS has aided San Marcos TNRM by creating a comprehensive geodatabase and spatial information system that catalogs all feral cat colonies planted and maintained in Hays County by TNRM.

____The goal of this project is to ensure that the TNRM branch in San Marcos will abide by the City of San Marcos ordinance code 6.017 Feral Cat Management which mandates the tracking of feral cat colonies as well as provide future predictions where new feral colonies may spring up.  CATS’ involvement will also help TNRM compete for government grant money in order to maintain this on-going project.
