Sharon Bengzon-Yap of PAWS addressed the humane management of community cats. Veterinarian Dr. Gab Almera spoke about responsible pet parenting and the importance of pet healthcare. Finally, Keith Salas of South City K9 emphasized the importance of dog training and how it can foster a deeper connection between owners and their pets. A key aspect of the event was the TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) program, which was launched by RHK Land, the developer of The Velaris Residences. This program aims to manage stray cat populations in a humane and effective manner.
- TNVR Program: A Humane Solution to Stray Cat Management
- Key Benefits:
- Reduces population growth
- Decreases nuisance behaviors
- Prevents the spread of diseases
- Promotes a healthier community
The TNVR program involves the humane catching of stray cats, neutering them, and vaccinating them against rabies. The cats are then safely returned to their outdoor territories, where they can live without the risk of uncontrolled breeding. By preventing uncontrolled breeding, TNVR directly reduces the number of kittens born outdoors, thereby reducing the population over time.
| Key Features of TNVR | Description |
|---|---|
| Humane Catching | The cats are caught in a humane manner to prevent stress and injury. |
| Neutering | The cats are neutered to prevent uncontrolled breeding. |
| Vaccination | The cats are vaccinated against rabies to prevent the spread of diseases. |
| Safe Return | The cats are safely returned to their outdoor territories, where they can live without the risk of uncontrolled breeding. |
The success of the TNVR program is evident in the results of the first two runs, which have already seen 45 cats neutered and vaccinated. This is a significant step towards reducing the stray cat population in the area and promoting a healthier community. In conclusion, the All Fur Love pet fair at The Velaris Residences was a powerful statement of RHK Land’s dedication to creating a truly inclusive and harmonious living environment. By championing initiatives like TNVR and fostering open dialogue on animal welfare, The Velaris Residences demonstrates that luxury living extends beyond material comforts to embrace a compassionate and responsible approach to community.
