Every street in Arlington has cats living and surviving. Catching and removing these cats is ineffeciant and cruel as they have established themselves in their Community. Scientific studies have proved that when you remove any species from an area with an established food source, more will move in. The humane method of Trap-Neuter-Return stabalizes the population because they are neutered and not reproducing. Also, the nuisance behavior ends. This is called the VACUUM EFFECT.
