Community Cats Maryland and Alley Cat Allies offer a free educational workshop where you can learn about trap-neuter-return, feral cat management practices, local resources for feral cat spay/neuter, and proper use of a humane trap. Attending a workshop will also help get you "plugged in" with other local cat caretakers.

The workshop is held the third Thursday of every month at 7 PM at BARCS, the Baltimore city animal shelter, located at 301 Stockholm St. (right near M&T Bank Stadium). Click here for directions. The workshop usually lasts about 90 minutes, and there are plenty of opportunities to ask questions. No registration is required, just show up!

If you can't attend the BARCS workshop, you can view some of the same information online from Alley Cat Allies. We also have educational DVDs and VHS tapes available for loan if you can't view the online video. But we strongly encourage you to attend a workshop in person if at all possible.
