Application of a high-quality, high-volume trap–neuter–return model of community cats in Seoul, Korea [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Background This study was performed to determine the characteristics of community cats that were admitted to trap–neuter–return(TNR) programs and the feasibility of the high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN) model in Seoul, Korea.

Do Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Practices Contribute to Human–Coyote Conflicts in Southern California?

open access: yes, 2023
One possible contributor to the unusually high number of conflicts between coyotes (Canis latrans) and people in urban southern California, USA, may be the abundance of free-roaming domestic cats (Felis catus; cats) subsidized by feeding and augmented by trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs.

The animal welfare, environmental impact, pest control functions, and disease effects of free‐ranging cats can be generalized and all are grounds for humanely reducing their numbers

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Trap‐neuter‐release of free‐ranging cats negatively influences cat welfare. Cats in the environment threaten wildlife and public health irrespective of scale. Feeding cats exacerbates pest rodent issues. Intensive adoption and responsible euthanasia are better alternatives. Abstract Although the domestic cat Felis catus is implicated in multiple faunal

The impacts of free‐roaming cats cannot be generalized and their role in rodent management should not be overlooked

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Cats, Felis catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), were domesticated because of their role in rodent control around human settlements. Free‐roaming cats (henceforth, referred to as “cats”) can predate on a wide variety of small‐ to medium‐sized animals and affect biodiversity.

Response to Wolf et al.: Furthering Debate over the Suitability of Trap-Neuter-Return for Stray Cat Management

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
To continue dialogue over proposed Australian trials of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), we applied a framework requiring identification of areas of agreement, areas of disagreement, and identification of empirical data collection required to resolve ...

Drivers and facilitators of hunting behaviour in domestic cats and options for management

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 307-322, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Domestic cats Felis catus are distinct from other domesticated animals because their phenotype and genotype are relatively unchanged. While they live with people as pets or pest controllers, they retain capacity for survival independent of human support and readily persist as feral animals.

Free‐ranging domestic cat abundance and sterilization percentage following five years of a trap–neuter–return program

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, Page 1-8, 2021., 2021
Increasing free‐ranging cat populations are a cause of concern for wildlife management and biodiversity conservation. Cats carry and transmit multiple diseases, annually depredate billions of birds and mammals in the mainland United States, and have caused extinctions and declines of wildlife populations worldwide.
