Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a humane method for managing populations of feral cats. It involves trapping the cats, taking them to a veterinary clinic to be neutered or spayed, and then returning them to their original location. This process helps reduce the number of kittens born while allowing adult cats to continue living in their familiar environment. TNR promotes healthy cat colonies and stabilizes their populations, ultimately contributing to improved welfare for community cats and reducing their impact on local wildlife. It is often supported by animal welfare organizations as a responsible alternative to euthanasia.
