The Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program is the only method proven to be humane and effective at controlling outdoor cat population growth. Using this technique, all the cats in a colony are trapped, vaccinated, possibly treated for select injury or illness, spayed or neutered, ear-tipped for identification, and then returned to their territory. The goal of any community cat management program is to maximize the quality of life for the cats.

Carefully read and understand all of the following terms of service.
