TNR Day Or Trap Neuter & Return

A Daily Occurence At “MKCR”

We trap and collect the cats. They are transported to the vet for spay/neuter and rabies shots! Once they have surgery, they return to the Rescue to recover.

After 24 hours, I released them, where I found them. If they are being cared for, the best thing is to return them to where they were found.

More About TNR

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a humane approach to managing feral cat populations. The process involves trapping free-roaming or feral cats, neutering or spaying them to prevent reproduction, and then returning them to their original outdoor habitat.

This method is widely used by animal rescue organizations and volunteers as a way to reduce overpopulation and improve the overall health of the cat colony.

TNR is done for several key reasons. First, it helps stabilize and eventually reduce feral cat populations over time, as neutered cats no longer contribute to the birth of new litters. Second, it reduces nuisance behaviors such as territorial fighting, yowling, and spraying. Third, the health of the cats is improved since neutered cats are less prone to certain diseases and infections. Additionally, TNR is a more ethical and sustainable alternative to euthanasia, promoting coexistence between feral cats and their human communities.
