I'm interested in starting up an informal network of people (worldwide) committed to any or all of the following issues:

*Getting free or low-cost spay/neuter services in their community
*Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Release for feral cats
*Barn cat placement (for ferals that are slightly tame but not friendly enough for placement as house pets)
*Temporary foster care programs as an alternative to sheltering (i.e. people that are temporarily displaced and want to keep their pets)
*Helping owners contend with behavior issues
*Helping rescuers who need to place animals but can't place them in a shelter because they're full
*Programs that strive to prevent hoarding
*Advocating responsible ownership, including programs that help with vaccines, vet care, food, or shelter for outdoor animals
*Programs that use shelter animals as some sort of outreach the the community (i.e. therapy animals, being placed with people in a battered womens' shelter, etc.)

Basically, I'm focusing on efforts that can be made to reduce the number of pets entering shelters and being euthanized.

Hopefully, if a group can share resources, more people will realize what types of help are in their community. :)
