In a TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) program, cats are:

  • Humanely trapped
  • Spayed or neutered
  • Vaccinated
  • Returned to their home territory

This helps reduce overpopulation, minimizes nuisance behaviors (like spraying and yowling), and protects public health. It’s safer for the cats and for the community!
