Wayside Waifs is committed to expanding our Community Cat Trap-Neuter-Return Program. We love partnering with our friends at Heart of America Humane Society, the cities of Grandview and Belton, Feline Fix, Community Cat Colony Connection, The Rescue Project, Catwise, and more to make the TNR Program possible. The below photo may not look like much at first glance, but it's just a few of the community cats we altered this week.
