    Several councils in South Australia have adopted a policy endorsing Trap Desex and Return for the management of free-living cat populations. This is largely thanks to the work of the non-profit organisation CATS Inc. (Cats Assistance to Sterilise), which practices and promotes TDR as the only ethical and sustainable way to manage free-living cats.

    Also, there’s an excellent overview of Trap Desex and Return, including some Australian examples, on the Animal Active website: http://animalactive.org/
    Go to “Cats – Control by Desexing not Killing”, scroll down the bottom of the page and click on the link to the report.

    The World League for the Protection of Animals, an organisation based in Sydney, does great work providing support and advice for people interesting in Trap Desex and Return Programs for free-living cats:
