Knowledge is power

Community cats, Trap-Neuter-Return, and the kindest math there is.

Community cats live outdoors, often unowned but cared for. TNR humanely stabilizes their numbers — and ends the cycle of kittens born into hardship.

Why not just remove them?

Trapping and removing cats leaves food and shelter behind, so unfixed cats move in and the colony refills. TNR keeps the existing, sterilized cats in place, which stops breeding and stabilizes the population.

• ✓No new litters
• ✓Less spraying, fighting and roaming
• ✓Healthier, vaccinated cats

How a TNR cycle works

It's a simple, repeatable routine that caring neighbors can learn.

• ✓Establish a feeding schedule so cats are predictable
• ✓Trap with humane box traps the night before surgery
• ✓Spay/neuter, rabies vaccine and ear-tip at a clinic
• ✓Recover 24–48 hours, then return to the exact spot

Caring for a colony

Fixed cats still need a caretaker. Small things make a big difference.

• ✓Fresh water and food at set times
• ✓Simple insulated shelters for winter
• ✓Watch for newcomers and get them fixed fast
