Community Cat Program
In 2025, OAR was granted the opportunity to pilot its Community Cat Program (CCP), a transformative initiative dedicated to improving the lives of free-roaming, unowned outdoor cats. With the ultimate goal of centralizing and standardizing Community Cat Management policies and practices across Hamilton County, the CCP will create a more humane, sustainable, and unified approach to caring for these animals.
During the first Pilot Year, OAR seeks to develop standard operating procedures, program structure, and targeted TNR methods that are sustainable, scalable, and able to replicated within other communities.
We are beyond thrilled for the opportunity to spearhead this program, and extend our deepest gratitude to the Joanie Bernard Foundation for making this initiative possible.
