Answer

What is the TNR approach for cat colonies in Mallorca?

TNR stands for Trap-Neuter-Return. Cats are safely trapped, sterilized and then returned to their colony, usually with some form of identification such as a microchip or ear tag. In Mallorca, TNR is the practical model most often discussed, but it only works well when there are proper protocols and follow-up care.
