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)
“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
