T.N.R. is the most humane, successful and responsible way to manage feral cats in communities.
“Feral cats”?
Feral cats are the same species as our domestic cats; the only difference is that they are not socialized with humans and therefore not adoptable.
Feral cats serve the community by acting as pest control for rats and insects. Hence we must respect and protect them while controlling their population.
How does T.N.R. work?
Feral cats are humanely trapped and taken to a veterinary clinic to be sterilized and ear tipped. Once they recover, they are returned to their original outdoor home (called colony).
Why neuter?
To decrease the overpopulation: there are no more kittens, the population is stabilized To improve their living conditions: friendlier behavior, healthier, less roaming, prevent suffering and early death.
