Garage Expansion

Our cat recovery area is in need of a major overhaul. Our goal is to build an approximately 11'x23' room inside of our recovery garage. The new features will increase comfort for both the cats in our care and our volunteer team. It will also allow us to care for more cats at one time, increasing our productivity.

Our new room will include:

Greater heat/cool controls
Easily sanitized walls, floors, and countertops
Better rodent & insect control
Improved natural light
Improved shelving & dry storage
Less chance of cats escaping

What is TNR?

Trap-Neuter-Return is the only humane and effective approach to community cat populations. Here are the three basic steps to this lifesaving process:

1. Trap: Humanely trap all the cats in a colony. A colony is a group of cats living outdoors together.

2. Neuter (or spay): Take the cats in their traps to a veterinarian or clinic to be neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal symbol of a neutered and vaccinated cat.
Learn more at alleycat.org/eartip.

3. Return: After the cats recover, return them to their outdoor home where they were trapped.

TNR Process

TNR Assistance Application

TNR is supported by all credible animal protection organizations including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA), as well as hundreds of TNR groups nationwide, and the countless individuals who carry out grassroots TNR programs.

We work to motivate and empower compassionate caretakers through education as well as equip them with necessary supplies, knowledge and support to carry out the process of TNR. Click here to view On Demand Webinars from Community Cat Podcasts.

TNR is a process whereby cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and then returned to their home territory. TNR does not involve euthanasia nor relocation of the cats unless their lives are in immediate danger. TNR is the most humane and effective way of controlling the community cat population. It improves the lives of cats, addresses community concerns, reduces complaints about cats, and stops the breeding cycle.

Cat Trap Fever offers full service TNR on a limited basis. It is our experience that when caregivers of colonies take part in the trapping, cats are trapped faster and easier than if strangers (CTF volunteers) do all of the work. We understand that not everyone can help with every aspect of TNR but most people can help with at least one task.

Sitting and watching traps and moving caught traps to a recovery location is a huge help to our organization.
Driving caught cats to/from their recovery location (We give you all the tools to protect your vehicle).
Setting traps is easy and anyone can do it! We will show you how.
Offering to hold your cats for recovery in a climate-controlled environment is always a big help!
