Information
Forgotten Cats began with a few dedicated volunteers in 2003. Initially the organization trapped, neutered and released about 20 cats per week, the organization has expanded to among the largest TNR programs in existence today, sterilizing about 20 cats per day. To date, the organization has sterilized over 14,000 feral cats. Forgotten Cats, Inc. also provides an expansive fostering and adoption service, working with several local PetSmart locations to place previously feral cats in “forever” homes. The organization also provides low-cost sterilization clinics regularly at two locations. Overall, Forgotten Cats has been able to successfully get over 5,000 cats adopted.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“I have all my life been on my guard against the information conveyed by the sense of hearing—it being one of my earliest observations, the universal inclination of humankind is to be led by the ears, and I am sometimes apt to imagine that they are given to men as they are to pitchers, purposely that they may be carried about by them.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
“The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
