TNRM workshop and Farewell

Last Sat afternoon, Dawn conducted a Trap-Neuter-Return-Management (TNRM) workshop at the National Library. There were similar ones conducted a number of times this year but this last one was quite different as most of the caregivers knew about Dawn leaving Cat Welfare Society and wanted to say goodbye and thank her in person.

Some of them catered and bought food for all to enjoy. Dawn also made some yummy brownies.


Dell the adoption volunteer gave some tips on finding adopters for community cats. Dawn gave a good presentation about the importance of the Management element in the TNRM concept while Rebecca did a demonstration on the use of the cat trap.

Even though this is not my first time attending the TNRM workshop, I still did take away some good tips and important messages. I also did some catching up with some caregivers in my area and friends. Such interactions do give caregivers like me the inspiration and encouragement to continue to be the voice for the community cats despite the problems we face.
