What is T.N.R.?

WHAT IS TNR 

Picture
Picture
Trap-Neuter-Return is the humane and effective approach for stray and feral cats. 
​
Trap-Neuter-Return is successfully practiced in hundreds of communities and in every landscape and setting. It is exactly what it sounds like: Cats are humanely trapped and taken to a veterinarian to be neutered and vaccinated. After recovery, the cats are returned to their home—their colony—outdoors. Kittens and cats who are friendly and socialized to people may be adopted into homes.

TNR stops the breeding cycle of cats and improves their lives while preventing reproduction. Because the cats can no longer reproduce, the colony has the potential to decline in size over time. Spaying and neutering also greatly reduce nuisance behavior. Once the cats are fixed, fighting, yowling and other noise associated with mating stops almost entirely. The foul odor caused by unaltered males spraying to mark territory disappears and the cats, no longer driven to mate, roam much less and become less visible. The cats themselves are healthier and less likely to spread feline diseases. Meanwhile, rodent control is maintained by the cats' continued presence. 

( TRAP )

Picture
Trap-Neuter-Return, or "TNR," is the most humane and effective method known for managing feral and stray cats and reducing their numbers. The cats, who typically live together in a group called a colony, are trapped with the help of Four Legs Good and brought to a veterinary clinic.

( NEUTER )

Picture
They are then cleaned, spayed or neutered, vaccinated for rabies and eartipped.​

Eartipped is cutting away a small part of the ear while under anesthesia so that TNR'd cats are easily identified even at a distance.

( RETURN )

Picture
After they've recovered from their surgeries, the cats are returned back to their original territory where hopefully a caretaker provides regular food and shelter.​
