How To Control Feral Cats Using Trap-Neuter-Return

site_tnr_itworks.png

Our neighborhood faces a population crisis of homeless cats, many of them feral and too wild to be placed in homes. They reproduce rapidly and, as their numbers grow, so does noise, odor and other problems. But there is something you can do!

What is Trap-Neuter-Return(TNR)?

Trap-neuter-return (TNR) involves trapping all the cats in a colony, getting them spayed/neutered, adopting out the kittens and friendly cats, then returning the wild adults to their territory and providing them with food and shelter. TNR eliminates or significantly reduces the noise from fighting, odor from spraying, and more litters of kittens. 

This progressive approach is fast becoming the preferred method of street cat population control throughout San Jose and across the nation. Numerous animal welfare agencies have endorsed TNR and its use grows every day.
