TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN (TNR)

At PCR, we believe the lives of cats and our communities can be improved primarily through the trap-neuter-return method (or TNR). With the help of our volunteers, we're reducing the feral cat population in an ethical way.

We've constructed a brief overview of the TNR method and benefits of feline population intervention. Check it out!

We're building a safer world for our feline friends.

What is trap-neuter-return?

Trap-neuter-return (or TNR) is an alternative, non-lethal, and humane approach to controlling feral cat populations. This approach involves the gentle capture of "community cats." The cats are then admitted to a reliable veterinary service where they are spayed or neutered. After a successful recovery period, the cats are then returned to their natural environment/area from where they were captured, effectively controlling the cat population of a target area.
