Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, And Return (TNVR) Program
What is TNVR?
TNVR has been proven to decrease the nuisance behavior of feral cats as well as prevent unwanted litters of kittens. Cat fights, spraying, unwanted offspring, and other public health issues with feral cats greatly reduce as soon as three months after TNVR is introduced. Cats who are altered generally don’t stray too far from their food, which limits their interaction with the general public and keeps them safe in their colony or backyard.
Trap
The cat is trapped safely in its environment.
Neuter
The cat is spayed/neutered to prevent unwanted litters.
Vaccinate
The cat is vaccinated against rabies and other diseases.
Return
The cat is returned back to its original environment.
How To Help Your Community Cats
Community cats are also referred to as strays, ferals, or neighborhood cats. These cats generally live outside where food is readily available. Dumpsters, colonies, and busy areas tend to have the biggest community cat populations. These cats thrive outside and don’t have an owner.
When community cats are left alone, they continually reproduce and cause a multitude of issues in their territories. TNVR is the best and safest solution to control our community cat populations.
