2) Humanely trapping, “socializing”, and finding responsible owners for feral cats and kittens.

3) Educating the public about humanely controlling the number of feral cats.

4) Educating the public about maintaining the health of pet cats.

5) Establishing a “no kill” animal shelter.

6) Other activities or actions as are reasonably related to the foregoing purposes.
