Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)

 

 

Creating healthier, safer communities for cats and people

 

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a humane and effective approach to managing community cat populations. The process involves humanely trapping feral or stray cats, having them spayed or neutered by a veterinarian, vaccinated, and then safely returning them to their outdoor home.

 

By preventing endless litters of kittens, TNR stops the cycle of overpopulation. Neutered cats are healthier, less likely to roam, and no longer contribute to loud mating behaviors or territorial fighting. This not only improves the cats’ quality of life, but also reduces the strain on shelters and rescues.

 

TNR benefits everyone:

 

• 🐾 For cats – less stress, better health, and no more kittens born into hardship.

• 🏡 For communities – fewer stray kittens, decreased nuisance behaviors, and a more balanced relationship between people and outdoor cats.

• ❤️ For rescues – the chance to focus resources on cats and kittens who truly need hands-on rehabilitation and adoption.

 

 

Through TNR, we can create a kinder, more sustainable future where community cats live healthier lives — and communities can coexist with them peacefully.
