Friends2Ferals is a program of the 501(c)(3) non-profit Humane Society of Buncombe County. The program is dedicated to improving the lives of feral cats and humanely reducing their numbers over time utilizing the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method. TNR has proven to be the most effective and humane method of dealing with the issue of feral cats.

Not only does the program improve the quality of life for feral and free-roaming cats, it results in a dramatic decrease in the number of cats euthanized in local shelters.

Friends2Ferals is administered by Nancy Schneiter, President/CEO of the Humane Society of Buncombe County and a handful of dedicated volunteers. Headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina, Friends2Ferals TNR'd more than 700 cats throughout Western North Carolina in 2009 and was responsible for the adoption of more than 50 kittens. It is estimated that these efforts prevented the unwanted births of more than 1500 homeless cats in 2010.

Friends2Ferals has set a goal to TNR 1400 cats this year. With your help, we can reach that goal!
