TNVR is the internationally accepted, effective and humane method of controlling and free-roaming cat populations. TNVR has been practiced for decades in the U.S. and is successfully practiced in hundreds of communities and in every landscape and setting.
Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return Healthy free roaming or feral cats are sterilized, vaccinated and returned to the location where they were trapped.
Community cats are unowned free roaming cats that may be cared for by local residents. Community cats may or may not be feral and usually live in colonies. Some community cats are friendly and socialized and some are not.
Feral cats are wild and exist in an untamed state and generally not socialized to human contact.
The goal of TNVR is to reduce free roaming cat populations through sterilization and to stop the spread of disease through vaccination. Any unowned, free roaming or feral cat can qualify.
Cats that have been ear tipped are identified as being sterilized and vaccinated.
These cats should never be re-trapped or brought to a shelter, unless sick. Instead, they should be left in their neighborhood to provide cat population control
