ResQ TNR Assistance Program

---

TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) is the most humane, effective way of managing feral and stray cat populations and to reduce their numbers in our communities.  After cats are trapped, they are brought to a vet to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and ear tipped. Once they have recovered from their surgery, they are returned back to their original territory where food, water, and shelter are provided by a colony caretaker. 

ResQ TNR assistance is available in various forms. The program is dedicated to aiding community members who wish to support a colony of cats. Our objective is to encourage greater community involvement in TNR, as this is the only method to create a significant and lasting effect on feral and stray cat populations. More individuals getting involved is crucial! The ResQ TNR Assistance Program offers help with:

• Appointments for spay/neuter at affordable vet clinics.
• Best practices guidance on tackling your TNR project.
• Financial assistance for spay and neuter expenses.
• Guidance on being an effective colony caretaker.
• Relocation resources for cats that cannot remain on site.
• Rescue placement resources for sociable cats.

Applying for TNR assistance is free of charge. Nonetheless, applicants might be requested to help cover a portion of the costs of spaying/neutering, provided they have the financial means.
