Why TNR?
TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) is a method and philosophy for managing community (or feral) cat populations. It is the single most effective, humane method for helping free-roaming cats and the humans who live around them.
In a TNR scenario, community cats are humanely trapped at their colony and transported to a veterinarian’s office. There they receive spay/neuter surgery, a left ear tip, a rabies vaccination, and flea treatment. They are monitored post-surgically and then released to live out their lives in their colony. Many community cat colonies have dedicated caregivers who feed, water, and monitor the colony.
A shout-out to our friends at No Limits in Tasley VA who make cat shelters for us.
