TRAP NEUTER RETURN

TRAP NEUTER RETURN

Good for our community! Good for cats!

Trap Neuter Return is a process in which feral cats are humanely trapped and sterilized by veterinarians. After recovery, they are released back to the EXACT location in which they were trapped. Not only does TNR put an end to the cycle of breeding, removing cats merely opens up territory for new ones to move in. This is known as the ‘vacuum effect’.  Feral cats are not adoptable and are likely destroyed when turned in to shelters. TNR is the most humane and ONLY proven effective long term solution in reducing feral cat populations.

If you or someone in your neighborhood is looking for ways to keep community cats off of their property, please consider this lengthy list of options for Humane Cat Deterrents.

The Pima Animal Care Center’s Community Cat Program 

Pima Animal Care Center has a locally funded Community Cat Trap Neuter Return Program.  Consider calling or writing as a point of contact for questions regarding free-roaming neighborhood cats, humane trap loan, information on participating no or low cost clinics for spay/neuter of feral and Community Cats and assistance with trapping and transport.  email:  CommunityCats@pima.gov or call 520-724-5983.
