Feral cat colonies are a growing problem, which grows larger with each litter of kittens born into a colony. Because feral cats are not socialized with humans, they are not candidates for adoption. However, you can reduce the number of feral cats while increasing their quality of life through our Trap, Neuter and Return program (TNR). This program has been proven to be the most efficient and humane way to stabilize a feral cat colony. The cost of TNR ranges from $30-35 per cat and includes the spay/neuter procedure, rabies vaccination and ear tipping (for identification purposes). Other vaccinations and treatments are offered for additional fees. Please note that this program is for feral cats ONLY. We will not spay/neuter privately owned pets at our shelter. If you would like to participate in our TNR program, or would like more information, contact us! For more information on how to help stray cats, visit the Alley Cats Alliance website.
