Meet Sterling Davis, a hip-hop musician who gave up performing to become an advocate for Trap-Neuter-Return. As far as feral cat management and population reduction go, "TNR" is by far the most humane and successful approach today.

After becoming passionate about this cause, he left his life as a trap artist and became an animal shelter volunteer. He now spends most of his time helping feral and stray cats by ensuring they're neutered, vaccinated, and returned to their original habitats, where shelter and food are provided daily.

Sterling is also committed to educating people on how TNR can help reduce the number of homeless animals euthanized each year.

Although Davis dislikes the moniker, it became popular among his peers to refer to him as the "Trap King."

The name is partly linked to his music roots, but also because he is a community champion for Trap-neuter-return.

His life has been totally transformed since he became an animal advocate.

He's well-versed in the TNR approach, and as such, travels to areas with cat issues to teach people about TNR to ensure cat safety.

As a black man in the cat advocacy movement, Sterling is defying preconceptions, and he hopes that more men and people of color will follow suit.
