TNR Program

Why TNR Matters for Community Cats Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the most humane and effective method for managing community cat populations. Through TNR, cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-clipped to display that they’ve been altered and then returned to their outdoor homes. This process stops the cycle of reproduction, reduces nuisance behaviors like yowling and spraying, and improves the overall health of the colony.

Benefits of TNR:

  • Prevents overpopulation by stopping litters before they’re born
  • Improves cat health through vaccination and care
  • Reduces shelter intake and euthanasia rates
  • Creates more peaceful neighborhoods with fewer cat-related disturbances
  • Supports a balanced ecosystem by stabilizing colonies
  • TNR is not just a solution—it’s a long-term commitment to compassionate, responsible care
