Care for the community cats in your neighborhood
We help neighbors humanely manage free-roaming cat colonies — spay and neuter surgery, vaccinations, and a safe return to the only home these cats know.
- No cost for qualified community cats
- Vaccinated and ear-tipped
- Returned to their colony
Every surgery stops a litter
One sterilized colony means fewer kittens born outdoors and fewer cats entering shelters.
A humane, proven approach to community cat overpopulation
TNVR stabilizes colony size without euthanasia. Cats are humanely trapped, sterilized, vaccinated, and returned to their outdoor home — where a dedicated caregiver continues to feed and monitor them.
Trap
Cats are humanely trapped with baited, humane box traps and handled gently — never harmed, chased, or netted.
Neuter
Each cat is spayed or neutered by a licensed veterinarian, which permanently ends the cycle of new litters.
Vaccinate
Rabies and FVRCP vaccines protect both the cat and the people nearby, so colonies stay healthier overall.
Return
After recovery the cat goes back to its outdoor home, where a caregiver keeps feeding and watching over the colony.
Why it matters
Sterilized colonies stop producing kittens, so fewer cats are born outdoors and fewer end up in shelters. Vaccinated cats are healthier, and neutering reduces the yowling, spraying, and fighting that cause complaints in the first place.
This program is for unowned cats
Community, feral, and stray cats that return outdoors — not owned pets or cats needing rehoming. Check if you qualify.
How it works, step by step
From your first question to a healthy cat back in its colony — here's what to expect along the way.
- 1
Request to Book
Select an available Friday and fill out the appointment request form — three quick questions confirm the cats are unowned, will be returned outdoors, and aren't being rehomed. Submitting does not reserve your spot.
- 2
Await Confirmation
Our coordinator reviews your request and sends a confirmation email. Your spot is only reserved once you receive that email. Once confirmed, download and complete the TNVR intake forms from the Resources page before your appointment.
- 3
Drop Off & Pick Up
Bring trapped cat to the clinic between 7:00 and 8:00 AM. All cats must arrive in a humane trap. Pick up time is 4:00 to 5:00 on the same day of surgery.
- 4
Trap the night before
We help you plan trapping with humane traps so every cat in the colony is safely contained before clinic day.
- 5
Surgery and vaccination
A licensed vet performs the spay or neuter, gives rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and ear-tips the cat as an indication that the cat has been sterilized.
- 6
Recover, then return
Cats rest for 24 hours after surgery, then go back to their colony where their caregiver can keep watch.
The eligibility check takes about a minute.
