Seeing stray cats?
The humane, effective way to control the number of community cats is trap-neuter-return (TNR). Community cats are the feral and stray free-roaming cats in your neighborhood. Together we can control their population and help save cats' lives.
Benefits of helping stray cats:
- Allows spayed/neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped cats to be returned to their outdoor area to live out their lives. (Ear-tipping is a universal symbol of a spayed/neutered cat.)
- Humanely controls the community cat population so there are fewer cats over time.
- Reduces the number of cats killed by keeping these cats out of municipal shelters.
- Minimizes nuisance behaviors like spraying, fighting, howling and roaming.
- Improves the health of cats and neighborhood relations.
