What Is TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return)?
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a humane, effective way to help outdoor cats—often called community cats—live healthier lives while reducing overpopulation.
Through TNR, cats are:
- Humanely trapped
- Spayed or neutered
- Vaccinated
- Ear-tipped (a universal sign that a cat has been sterilized)
- Returned to their outdoor home
This approach stops the cycle of endless litters, reduces behaviors like yowling and fighting, and improves the cats’ health and safety. It also eases the strain on shelters and helps communities coexist peacefully with outdoor cats.
TNR is supported by veterinarians, shelters, and animal welfare groups nationwide. It’s a compassionate solution that works—for cats and for people.
