Trap-Neuter-Return

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Program

Free-roaming cats, both feral and stray, are a major source of cat overpopulation, producing about 80% of the kittens born each year. The goal of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is to reduce the number of feral cats and manage their care. TNR improves the quality of life for existing colonies, prevents the birth of more cats, reduces the population over time, and eliminates nuisance behaviors associated with unsterilized cats. Thank you for helping improve our outdoor cat communities!

How It Works:

  • Cat Traps: WCHS lends cat traps to TNR members with a $50 deposit, refunded if the trap is returned undamaged and on time.

  • Application: Complete the TNR Program Application to sign up.

  • Donations: A $20 donation per cat is suggested but not required.
