Description

The TNR program involves humanely trapping, spaying or neutering, ear-tipping (the universal sign a cat has been vaccinated and sterilized), and vaccinating feral cats and then returning them to their outdoor homes. TNR is extremely effective and saves cats’ lives. To address the feral cat population, the TONH has a free TNR program for residents. In conjunction with a non profit group, traps are lent to residents who bring cats in on a designated date to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and ear-tipped. Residents pick up the cat(s) after surgery and return them to their original outdoor homes after holding them for a small recuperation period. The TONH has a contract with a trapper for people who are unable to trap themselves.
