The Give Them Ten Movement Director and Founder Deborah Cribbs and Scooter the Neutered Cat joined FOX19 NOW to talk about Scooter’s Help Center and the Foster Campaign that is currently underway.

Monica Tarant, chief innovation officer of the Give Them Ten Movement, spoke at the Community Cat Summit for Southwest and Northeast Ohio. She presented how Scooter’s Help Center is helping divert shelter intakes by giving the public a resource where they can call to get help with any cat concern or question.

Scooter the Neutered Cat™ stopped by OAR (Ohio Alleycat Resource) to celebrate the organization's 25th anniversary on October 26. The open house hosted over 150 people and included a silent auction. OAR had a lot to celebrate, including the adoption of 1,260 cats and over 8,500 spay/neuter surgeries alone this year.

Scientists at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife made a breakthrough in finding a single dose of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) gene therapy that can induce long-term contraception in female cats. The study, funded by the Joanie Bernard Foundation and the Michealson Found Animals Foundation, represents a major milestone in finding a way to humanely reduce free-roaming cats.

Give Them Ten announces that seven organizations located across the U.S. have now joined the movement by becoming licensees.
