Introduction, Discussion, and Action in regards to Palm Valley Animal Center’s / Best Friends Animal Society team and proposed plans with Hidalgo County to include the proposed 3 year Trap, Neuter, And Return Program (TNRP) which is a method for effectively reducing the community cat colonies.

Introduction to Palm Valley Animal Center’s / Best Friends Animal Society team to include a brief update of the forth coming projects with Hidalgo County and development of a Community Program which include efforts that has TNRP a program in which community cats are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated, sterilized, and marked by an identifying notch in the left ear, all administered by a veterinarian, and returned to the trap location.
 
Cats are treated to prevent any future production of offspring, and are returned to their original colony. The colony population size remains stable. When all cats are spayed, neutered, and returned to a colony, the population size will gradually decrease as offspring are no longer produced.
