MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOD)
between
Collier Community Cat Coalition, a Florida Not for Profit Corporation
hereinafter ("CCCC")
and

hereinafter ("BCC")
I. PURPOSE & SCOPE
The purpose of this MOU is to clearly identify the roles and responsibilities of each party as they
relate to the implementation of a trap, neuter, and return program ("TNR") as described in the
Collier County Animal Control Ordinance. To support this goal, CCCC and BCC will work
cooperatively to ensure that all appropriate safeguards and regulations are performed and
implemented. Both CCCC and BCC should ensure that TNR program activities are conducted in
compliance with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations.
II. BACKGROUND
Collier County has determined that the optimal method to manage and limit the number of feral
cats is to utilize a community based TNR program. The CCCC is an entity that has been
established to coordinate and lead the community effort.
III. CCCC RESPONSffiILITIES UNDER THIS MOU
CCCC shall undertake the following activities:

a back-up Caregiver and that the Caregiver will:
2.1. Regularly feed and water, and provide shelter if possible to the cats in the colony;
2.2. Vaccinate and re-vaccinate the cats in the colony against the rabies virus as appropriate;
2.3. Spay and neuter the cats in the colony;
2.4. Once they are vaccinated and spayed or neutered, a veterinarian will also ear notch or ear
tip the cats in the colony;

6. Where a colony is being managed and is not registered with the CCCC, the Caregiver will be
given ninety (90) days to register the colony with the CCCC. Thereafter, standard
