Boooo! It’s Halloween!

SCRUFF highly recommends that you keep your domestic cat indoors at Halloween. And we are sure you can guess why. But feral cats are not so lucky. They often do not have a safe indoor space to which they can escape. One thing that you can do to help is to participate in the TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) process. It is an effective and humane way to control the feral cat population. For information about TNVR, visit our What is TNVR? page. Meanwhile, have a fun and SPOOKY Halloween!
