What is TNR

TNR, which stands for Trap, Neuter, Return, is a humane and effective method of managing and controlling feral and community cat populations. The process involves humanely trapping the cats, transporting them to a veterinarian to be spayed or neutered and vaccinated against common diseases like rabies. The cats are then returned to their original location. This approach addresses the needs of the cats and the communities they live in, without resorting to euthanasia or other harmful practices.

The goal of TNR is to gradually reduce the number of feral or stray cats over time, improve the health and well-being of the existing cats, and create a more harmonious relationship between the cats and their human neighbors. It is a widely accepted and advocated method by animal welfare organizations around the world.
