Trap and Return (TNR) Surgeries
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a humane and effective method to manage community cat populations. Cats are safely trapped, spayed or neutered, and then returned to their original location. This helps prevent overpopulation, reduces nuisance behaviors, and improves the overall well-being of the cats and the community they live in.
TNR Surgeries: $150
We offer surgeries only for TNR cats at a cost of $150. This includes anesthesia and pain medication lasting 24 hours. Blood work and IV catheter placement are not included, as these may not be an option due to the feral nature of most cats and their potential to carry disease.
We offer surgeries only for TNR cats, and owners must trap them humanely. This program is not for house pets. All TNR cats receive an ear notch to indicate they’ve been spayed or neutered, preventing re-trapping.
