Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)

Feral Cats Advocacy is committed to promoting the humane control of feral cat populations through the use of trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. TNR is a proven method of controlling the population of feral cats, while also promoting their health and well-being.

What is TNR?
TNR is a process that involves trapping feral cats, spaying or neutering them, vaccinating them, and returning them to their original location. This approach is based on the recognition that feral cats are not adoptable, and that euthanizing them is not an effective or humane solution to population control.

Instead, TNR addresses the root cause of feral cat overpopulation by preventing them from reproducing. This method not only reduces the number of cats in a given area, but it also promotes better health outcomes for the cats themselves, since spayed and neutered cats are less likely to fight, roam, or contract certain diseases.

Why is TNR important?
TNR is a humane and effective way to control the population of feral cats, while also promoting their health and well-being. By spaying and neutering feral cats, we can prevent them from reproducing and help to reduce the number of cats in a given area. This approach is also more cost-effective than traditional methods of population control, such as euthanasia.
