TNR
TNR stands for Trap–Neuter–Return, a humane method of managing and caring for outdoor (often feral or community) cats. 🐾
Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
🪤 Trap
Community cats are humanely trapped using safe, wire cat traps (never nets or harmful devices).
Traps are baited with food and covered to help cats feel secure.

✂️ Neuter (or Spay)
The cats are brought to a vet for spay/neuter surgery.
While under anesthesia, they typically also receive:
Parasite treatment (fleas, worms)
Ear tip (the universal sign that a community cat is fixed — a small notch is painlessly clipped from the ear)
Microchip
🏡 Return
After recovery, cats are returned to their original outdoor home (where they know how to find food and shelter).
✅ Why TNR is important
Stops the breeding cycle → prevents endless litters of kittens.
Improves cat health → fixed cats fight less, roam less, and are less stressed.
Reduces shelter euthanasia → fewer kittens being born means less overcrowding.
Protects wildlife → managed colonies are more stable and don’t grow unchecked.
🧰 If You Want to Get Involved
Contact us– we can lend traps, arrange vet appointments, or run workshops.
Volunteer – help with trapping, transport, or feeding colony cats.
Donate – vet care and surgeries are often the biggest expense.
