TNR

What is TNR?

TNR - Trap, Neuter, Return or Rehome.
After a client contacts us - we may go to their home to do an evaluation. We look to see how many cats there are, if they are sick, or if they are pregnant.
We put food in live traps to safely and humanely trap the cats.
After they are caught, we transport them to a Veterinarian.
We DO NOT do the surgery's ourselves. They are taken care of by a Veterinarian. They are also given vaccinations and treated for worms and fleas.
What is ear tipping? The Vet will cut the very tip off of feral/ barn cats, or notched with a small "V". This lets everyone know that this cat has been cared for - therefore, no need to trap it again, or, if it wanders off then people know it belongs to someone.
If the client is not able to - we will do after care for the cats. Recovery time for males is 1-3 days and females 2-4 days.
If the cats cannot return home - we will put them into foster care until a forever home can be found. Note: it is difficult to find placement for feral/stray/undersocialized cats. We may be able to offer spay/neuter but may not be able to assist in relocating or rehoming unsocialized or feral cats..

We do not charge a set fee for this service, but a donation is greatly appreciated!
Keep in mind of these costs for our service:

Veterinary bills
Vaccinations, topical and oral treatments for parasites
Fuel used for evaluation, feeding, trapping and transporting
Cat food, litter, bedding and supplies
Note: due to the ever changing ability to get low cost spay neuter appointments and the drastic increase in vet prices, a fee may be charged for spay neutering community/farm/ other cats.
