On a scorching day in Tempe, Arizona, tabby cat Guy ducked out of view behind a cactus.

Though temperatures reach well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for much of the year, Guy and community cats like him are very much at home. They snooze beneath bushes in peak daylight hours, and venture out to explore as the sun sets.

Best of all, their city has their backs. Tempe’s government-funded Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the heart of its animal programming, serving thousands of community cats like Guy every year in conjunction with dedicated advocates and caregivers.
