OUR HEALTH ACTIONS

The focus areas were selected after an extensive analysis of health and population data. While the HealthierJC key coalition members will lead the effort to create awareness and coordinate implementation of the selected action steps, community organizations will lead the efforts on the ground. Enacting positive change is a community-driven effort.

The Jersey City Division of Animal Care and Control and the Partnership for a Healthier JC have granted 18 active cat colony caregivers $5k each to save the lives of community cats through TNR – Trap, Neuter, Release. Over 300 community cats have been spayed or neutered and vaccinated against rabies at the Jersey City Animal Care Shelter. TNR humanely controls the community cat population by supporting the work of the cat colonies.
