About

• What is TNR?

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 and brought to a veterinary clinic. They're then spayed or neutered, vaccinated for rabies where appropriate, and their ear clipped. After they've recovered from their surgeries, the cats are returned to their original territory where a caretaker provides regular food and shelter. When foster or permanent homes are available, young kittens and friendly adults are removed and placed for adoption. 

• How do we help them in the harsh ND cold?

We begin by approving the placement of cold weather shelters and feeding stations. A shelter is made from coolers. A small opening allows access, and it is filled with straw and a Mylar shield (to reflect their body heat). Attaching it to a pallet with bungee cords stabilizes it and keeps it from direct contact with the cold ground. High-quality cat food is needed because cats living outside need more protein and fat than is found in the cheaper brands.
