It all depends on the AS agency of course but I have seen it really turn things around, from where AS used to be viewed as the "enemy" and now recognizes & applauds those practicing TNR--they don't want to see the cats end up at AS if possible and are glad if some can be saved. I do realize that unfortunately, some are dealing with AS facilities with a very backwards & primative mentality, I've been reading accounts on another list that are horrifying.
