Pregnancy Intervention Policy
Shining Star Rescue prioritizes prevention of future suffering through timely spay/neuter intervention, including spay of pregnant cats when medically appropriate.While we understand this can be an emotional decision, allowing litters to be born significantly increases colony size, shelter burden, and risk to kittens.Due to our limited capacity and volunteer resources, if pregnancy spay is declined, we may be unable to provide intake or placement assistance for resulting litters.By proceeding with TNR services, caregivers acknowledge this prevention-based policy.

RETURN AGREEMENT
When a cat is relocated,their survival map disappears overnight.To them, it isn’t rescue —it’s disorientation.
I understand that cats will be returned to their outdoor location after surgery as part of Trap-Neuter-Return.
I will continue feeding post-TNR
I will not relocate the cats
I will contact SSR if new cats arrive
You agree to cooperate with SSR and understand there is no guarantee that each cat can be trapped at a location. We will do our best when on site to trap all kitties.
