Community relations - making yourself available, taking the initiative to communicate, providing first-hand knowledge and expertise on cat behaviour, and following through on your promises - can save cats’ lives.

You may need to communicate with your and your feral friends' neighbours in a friendly and educational way; you may need to work with them to find resolution to issues or concerns; or you may be facing threats to the cats in your colony requiring more assertive responses or even campaigning. Whatever the goals of your interactions, these tools can help you bring about widespread change in your community, and ensure that it continues to be a safe and happy home for both the cats and the neighbours.
