Daphna Nachminovich is an executive with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and she knows how quickly cats reproduce.
“They have at least two litters a year, and they have multiple kittens per litter," she says. "They start reproducing at five or six months."
So she doesn’t oppose sterilizing feral cats, but she’s not happy with a bill sponsored by Senator Lynwood Lewis. It would allow animal shelters to create
trap, neuter and release programs or TNRs to control population growth, but it doesn’t require the provision of food, water, shelter and veterinary care.
