TNR is a process in which stray and feral (wild) cats are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated and sterilized by the veterinarian and then returned to their familiar habitat. TNR is not only cost-effective and humane, but it is scientifically proven as the most effective means of controlling the free-roaming cat population.

As we identify current assistance programs, we will list them here by county and/or region of the state. Please contact the organization closest to you for more information or assistance.
