I would like to get a TNR program–even do something about even one cat!!–here in central tokyo one block west of the famous Kagurazaka (Iidabashi station) where in the last two years or so TV and magazines have hyped thru visual images the cats of the area (some are pets or at least fed regularly). Overwhelmed with a feeling of doubt that as one person can I physically do anything? I read with great interest the JTimes article in january about your kansai organization. Is there anyone in my neighborhood that has contacted you?? tell me what to do–especially the practicalities of how to trap without hurting either cat or me, how to decide which cats are actually pets and where do i find and access a nearby sympathetic vet (i do not have a car). I do speak japanese and I grew up caring for cats, but have only cat-sitting experience here in Nippon (hence only a vague understanding of the legal/vacination requirements in Tokyo).
