Saving 100 Cats in Two Days: Hida TNR Spay Day 2025 Initiative

The Hida TNR Spay Day 2025 is an ambitious event dedicated to saving the lives of cats in Hida City, Japan. Scheduled for August 9 and 10, 2025, this large-scale initiative is organized by Neco Republic, a company led by Maho Kase, whose mission is to establish a society free from cat euthanasia. By promoting TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) practices, they address critical issues surrounding stray cat population control and improper breeding situations.

Event Background and Purpose

Every year in Japan, thousands of cats face euthanasia due to issues related to uncontrolled breeding of strays and the growing problem of hoarding. To combat this, Neco Republic advocates for the TNR approach, emphasizing collaboration with local communities to effectively manage stray cat populations. Traditionally, TNR initiatives rely heavily on volunteer funding, making them arduous and not entirely sustainable. However, the Hida TNR Spay Day will utilize hometown tax contributions to eliminate costs for participants, marking a revolutionary step in addressing feline overpopulation issues.

The Significance of TNR Efforts

TNR initiatives provide a pivotal solution to the ongoing problem of stray cat overpopulation. By humanely capturing, neutering, and returning cats to their original locations, the birth of unwanted kittens significantly decreases over time. It's a strategy how communities can effectively mitigate stray cat populations sustainably.

Local government budgeting is often insufficient to tackle these issues adequately, making reliance on purely private efforts impractical. The use of local tax contributions for free sterilization surgeries for stray cats is an innovative approach showing that proactive community engagement is essential in tackling these pressing issues.

Social Business Support: SAVE THE CAT HIDA PROJECT

The Neco Republic Hida Clinic aims primarily to offer spay and neuter services for cats, established through the SAVE THE CAT HIDA PROJECT. As part of a broader social business initiative supported by collaborations among universities, local governments, private enterprises, students, veterinarians, and volunteers, this project focuses on creating a safe space for cats in need. The clinic also engages in facilitating adoptions and sheltering activities in coordination with a dedicated foster care facility.
