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 2-4 days and females 3-6 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..
