She has worked with biologist and world-famous author Roger Tabor, veterinarian and TNR pioneer Jenny Remfry, the Universities Federation of Animal Welfare (U.K.), as well as the British Cat Action Trust.
[4] ACR works to put an end to the myths and misinformation surrounding feral and stray cats, which the organization claims are often used as scapegoats for complex environmental problems such as the depletion of bird and other wildlife populations.
ACR promotes the concept that all animals deserve respect and compassion, and that humane, non-lethal methods for controlling their populations, such as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), should be used.
The 2022 Challenge saw participation from veterinarians and clinics across 25 U.S. states as well as Greece, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates, who together sterilized around 51,000 community cats.
In past years, vets from a total of all 50 U.S. states, Antigua, Canada, Croatia, Israel, India, Japan, Nicaragua, and England have also taken part in the Challenge.
Management involves trapping, sterilizing, and vaccinating new colony arrivals as they are discovered, as well as feeding all of the cats and monitoring their health daily.
ACR sent the petition to the Australian Minister of the Environment, Threatened Species Commissioner, and Ambassador to the U.S.[6] The organization also operates an African Wildcat Conservation Action Plan in South Africa with the purpose of protecting and preserving the African wildcat (AWC) species through TNR of outdoor domestic cats who live near AWC territories.
