What is Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR)?
Trap, neuter, return (TNR) is a nonlethal strategy for reducing the number of outdoor community/feral cats and improving the quality of life for cats, wildlife, and people.
TNR involves:
-
Humanely trapping community cats,
-
Spaying (females) or neutering (males) them,
-
Vaccinating against rabies and other diseases,
-
Surgically removing the tip of one ear, a universally recognized sign that a cat living outside has been spayed or neutered, and
-
Returning the cats to the location where they were trapped (where they consider to be home).
Low-cost TNR Options
Outdoor community/feral cats should get fixed & returned to where they were found.
-
For cats in Brazos and surrounding counties, book surgery slots for Aggieland Humane Society's $5/cat Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) program - they also rent traps.
-
For cats in Brazos County, can request vouchers from BCS Spay (especially if need help trapping due to being elderly or disabled). Contribute what you can afford (up to $100/cat).
Do not take feral cats to shelters - they will almost surely be euthanized after a three day hold.
