TNR stands for trap, nurture, rehome
YOU’RE RIGHT!
TNR stands for Trap-Neuter-Return. It’s a technique used by cat rescue organizations where they set traps to catch stray and feral cats so they can spay or neuter the animals and return them to their original outdoor location once their wounds have healed. This is a great way of preventing feral colonies from growing ever bigger.

Istanbul is the world capital of stray cats
YOU’RE RIGHT!
The Turkish capital of Istanbul is home to around 125,000 stray cats! The animals are seen as community-owned pets rather than traditional strays, and many locals provide food and water to the felines.

Japan has multiple islands where the cat population outnumbers the human one
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Japan is home to several “cat islands” where feline residents outnumber humans, with Aoshima and Tashirojima being the most famous. Aoshima, a tiny island just 1.6 km long, has only about 15 to 20 human residents but over 120 cats! And the best part: both Aoshima and Tashirojima welcome visitors!

A cat will only have 1 litter of kittens per year
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Cats can have 3 to 4 litters each year, with an average of about 5 kittens per litter. This means that one couple of cats can have 15 to 20 kittens in just one year. If these kittens aren’t spayed or neutered, they can start reproducing as early as 4 to 6 months old, quickly adding to the growing population. Therefore, please consider getting your cat spayed or neutered.

A cat with the tip of their ear missing is most likely spayed or neutered
YOU’RE RIGHT!
In some countries, stray and feral cats that have been spayed or neutered have the tip of one ear painlessly removed during surgery. This practice, known as ear-tipping, makes it easy to identify cats that have already been sterilized, so they don’t need to be trapped again for the same procedure.
