TNR - Getting Involved

3 Comments

Read Now
 
Becoming a TNR volunteer is easier than you might think. If you want to help cats, becoming involved in TNR is a simple but impactful way to save cats lives.

TNR helps prevent kittens from being born on street and over burdening our shelter system.

How can you get involved? The basics of TNR are divided into three phases: planning, trapping, and treating. First, establish a feeding time, then count the number of cats. Next, make an appointment with a clinic for the spays/neuters. Obtain traps and other supplies that you will need.

Have the person feeding the cats withhold food for a day. Prepare the traps with newspaper and bait. Next, set the traps and wait for the cats to enter. Once trapped, cover with a towel and transport them home for the evening. In the morning, take the cats to the clinic so they can be spayed/neutered, ear tipped, and vaccinated. After the recovery period, return the cats back to their colony. 

If that process seems a bit too overwhelming, there are many other ways to get involved. You can volunteer to help transport cats, trap cats, fundraise, foster kittens and much more.

I am looking forward from hearing from you regarding how I can volunteer my free time to help make animals feel loved, safe, and healthy. I had so many pets growing up and they were all rescues. I would love to be a team member at Alley Cat Rescue ❤
