Aleksandra Slomska, founder of Trapper Aid, presented a data-driven solution to address the cat overpopulation crisis in New York City. She introduced Trapper Aid, a platform designed to unify data and provide insights for more efficient resource allocation in managing feral cat populations.

Trapper Aid aims to benefit government agencies, shelters, organizations, veterinary clinics, and individuals involved in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) efforts.
The platform seeks to demonstrate the value of TNR work and advocate for more funding, support, and awareness from local communities and larger institutions.
Slomska emphasized the need for a centralized, evidence-based system to combat the fragmented and inefficient use of resources in addressing cat overpopulation.

Good afternoon, city council and community members.

6:28:22

My name is Alexander Slomski.

6:28:25

I am user interface designer and one of the founders of ChopperAid platform.

6:28:31

Today, you have heard of the urgent need for city founded high volume, space, and new services, and additional resources to combat the growing cat over population crisis.

6:28:45

Large scale solutions require a data driven approach, and our platform, TrapperAid, provides the foundation for a comprehensive solution.

6:28:56

Currently, there is no centralized evidence based system to address this issue, leading to fragment and founding in efficient resource use and public health risk from unmanaged ferral cat populations.

6:29:11

Our team can change this by unifying data and providing insights to justify new budget allocations for clinics, rescue organizations, certified individuals, and eventually colony caretakers, guiding us toward a future free from cut over population.

6:29:31

Trapper 8 stands for those who are currently unseen.

6:29:36

Our platform benefits everyone.

6:29:38

Government agencies, shelters, large organizations, veterinary clinics, and especially those individuals and rescues who perform TNR.

6:29:48

These amazing people fight every day to save and help cats in need, often with limited resources and recognition.

6:29:56

For the past 1 year, our team has been working on a platform that will revolutionize the efforts.

6:30:04

Our plan would not only help demonstrate the value of the work, but also advocate for more founding, support, and awareness from local communities and larger institutions.
