TNR at a glance
-
Trap: Cats are safely trapped with humane traps when instructed and appointments are scheduled.
-
Neuter/Spay: Veterinarians perform surgery, give Rabies/FVRCP, Microchip, and Ear‑Tip for ID (No charges to colony caregiver)
-
Recover: Cats rest in a warm, quiet space overnight.
-
Return: Cats return to their outdoor homes with a caregiver.
Why it works
-
Stops the breeding cycle and humanely reduces population over time.

Ear‑tipping prevents repeat trapping and stress on cats.
-
Neighbors collaborate—improving outcomes for cats and people.
