Our Impact

What is Trap - Neuter - Return (TNR)?

Trap Neuter Return (TNR) is a game-changing approach that positively impacts both cats and the communities they inhabit. This humane practice involves trapping feral or free-roaming cats, spaying or neutering them, and then returning them to their original location. By doing so, TNR addresses the overpopulation issue in a compassionate way, preventing future litters and reducing the strain on shelters. These cats also play a vital role in natural pest control. TNR not only improves the cats' quality of life by ensuring their health and well-being, but it also fosters a harmonious relationship between cats and the community. Through TNR, we're creating a win-win scenario: healthier, happier cats and a more balanced local environment.
