Interview! Taryn Breuer, President, Friends of Jeannette Hunt Animal Shelter (NE)   Taryn describes how rural Blair, Nebraska needs its resident cats to help keep rodents from getting into the grain farmed there, but also needs an active TNR effort to keep the numbers of cats in check.  Participating in the MRFRS Mentoring Program was the catalyst (pun intended!) to upping Blair’s TNR game: after starting with just 150 or so cats in its first year, the program Taryn chairs has now fixed 4000 cats in just four years. The kitten population is under control, as well — down from 85 last year to only 15 in 2016.  She talks about the benefits of transfer cages, of keeping your equipment in top condition, and the secret of trapping during Nebraska’s stern winters:  microwave your bait until it’s very hot and wrap it in a towel until you get to your trapping location.   For more information please visit blairanimalshelter.org.
