The Edmonton Humane Society's (EHS) Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program is offered during the warmer months to spay/neuter feral cats found outside city limits (within 200 km (two hours) of Edmonton) who are healthy.

For TNR inquiries for cats within Edmonton City Limits, please visit the City of Edmonton's website here.

We have a limited number of appointments available per week and TNR surgeries are only scheduled on Thursdays. To apply for the program, please complete the following form and a team member will normally be in contact within 3-4 business days to discuss availablility.  

Cats must be considered feral to be eligible for this program. 

A feral cat has little to no contact with humans or their contact has decreased over time. They are fearful of people and survive on their own outdoors. They will not approach people and will likely seek hiding places to avoid humans.

Common feral cat body language includes:

• Avoidant of eye contact
• Preference for hiding or making themselves small by crouching and staying low to the ground
• Protect the body with their tail
• No vocalization (i.e. does not meow or purr)

Please answer the following questions to begin your application.

Based on the information you provided, the cat(s) is not eligible for EHS' Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.
