Trap-Neuter-Return + Vaccination (TNR+V)

TNR+V refers to the effective approach of trapping stray and feral cats, which are then neutered or spayed, and are safely returned back to their cat colonies in the community with up-to-date vaccinations. TNR+V reduces the population of community cats in the area and creates a healthier environment.

Our Animal Care program is recruiting organizations that can provide these services.
