To the Editor:

Did you know that in 2016 the Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) Program operated by the Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter treated 102 cats on LBI and 324 cats on the mainland for a total of 426 felines?

Assume 50 percentwere female, each capable of three litters per year for a total of 629 litters per year. Each litter can have between three to five kittens.
