1. Two Purriful forces have joined! Both the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) and Bideawee have been battling the same issue separately using the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) approach, the most humane and effective way to manage the community (feral) cat population. Recently, ARF Hamptons announced a partnership with Bideawee to help feral cats on Eastern Long Island. On Thursday, ARF traveled west to Bideawee’s Westhampton facility for the first of what will be monthly Spay/Neuter Clinics to address the feral cat population in Suffolk County. (ARF)
