Volunteers initiated a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program to humanely stop the growth of the cat population and reduce its size over time through natural attrition.
In addition to TNR efforts, volunteers also rescued kittens and friendly adult cats to find them homes.
[3][4] After two years, Project members reported that 92% of the cats had been spayed or neutered, exceeding initial goals.
In February 2019, the organization stated that there were 7 cats left living on the trail, with the population declined by 95%.
