Trap-Alter-Manage-Invest

Trap-Alter-Manage-Invest (TAMI) is a collaborative effort by FieldHaven Feline Center for community cats made possible by a grant from California for All Animals, which exists to unite and amplify the work of California animal shelters. The program is a holistic, community-based program for community cats in several defined areas surrounding our shelter in Lincoln, CA.

It will make affordable services and resources more accessible by targeting specific neighborhoods with a historically high population of unowned cats with minimal spay or neuter compliance. This will decrease barriers for local residents, create sustainability for the care of community cats, and reduce overall euthanasia of unwanted and uncared-for population of cats within Sutter County, the City of Shasta Lake, and the City of Marysville:

Sutter County
Qualified TNR colonies

City of Shasta Lake
Owned cats

City of Marysville
All cats

The range of services offered through TAMI will include a multi-faceted, triage approach to ensure a foundation of success. Specific focus areas will include trapping, spay/neuter services, medical care, transport, and community outreach and support.

What is TAMI?

TAMI can be defined as the following:

The method of humanely securing cats for spay/neuter surgeries and/or sometimes other minor medical services

The medical care, including spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, a microchip, and/or sometimes other minor medical services

Ensuring the cats are safe and cared for after being altered and returned to their homes by providing necessary resources to cats living in TAMI colonies

Program sustainability by encouraging communities to invest ongoing resources, continue TNR and community cat care, and educating the general public to ensure a peaceful coexistence between people and cats

California for All Animals

California for All Animals is a five-year project to improve the lives of at-risk animals in the state and provide much-needed resources to shelters that serve this vulnerable population. It exists to unite and amplify the work of California animal shelters to achieve our shared goal of matching every animal in need with the right outcome through the right care, delivered in the right place and at the right time.

The program funding was awarded in late 2022 and ended in August 2023.
