Cats Indoors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cats Indoors is a campaign by the American Bird Conservancy to encourage control of cats in order to protect birds from predation by cats. The objective of the Conservancy is that all domestic cats should be kept safely enclosed.
The American Bird Conservancy initiated Cats Indoors in 1997. It is an Internet based campaign. By 2003 the organisation demonstrated substantial results. They have successfully influenced federal, state and local governments in their cat policies.

They oppose the trap-neuter-return method of population control of feral cat colonies.
[edit] Linda Winter
Cats Indoors director is Linda Winter. Before founding Cats Indoors she was a Washington lobbyist. She said "The American Bird Conservancy opposes TNR because the cats continue to be free-roaming and will still kill birds even if well-fed. We do support stray and feral cat sanctuaries, which protects the cats and birds."
