Dear Elected Officials,

Residents of Jersey City are seeing a growing population of stray and community cats. Many of us want to help humanely reduce this population through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), but access to affordable TNR services is limited.

We are asking you to:
• Provide state and municipal funding for TNR programs
• Create free or low-cost TNR certificates that residents can use directly at participating veterinary clinics
• Expand partnerships with veterinarians to make TNR accessible to everyday residents

Accessible TNR programs will reduce suffering, prevent unnecessary euthanasia, and support humane management of community cats across Jersey City. Funding and policy support from both the state and municipal levels are essential to make this work.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.
