Spay/Neuter/TNR

One of the Greatest Gifts You Can Give a Kitty

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only humane and effective approach to community cats, or unowned cats living outdoors.  TNR effectively addresses the community cat population by ending the breeding cycle so no new kittens are born into an outdoor cat colony. TNR alleviates the burden on shelters and the need for euthanasia, and reduces the number of calls to animal services.  This saves cats’ lives and taxpayer dollars.  Also, when cats are free from the burdens of mating and reproducing, their relationships improve with the people who live near them, and many diseases associated with reproduction are prevented.  Loving Care Cat Rescue supports TNR and ensures every cat or kitten adopted from us is fixed prior to adoption.  We are doing our part to help control the overpopulation of cats in the communities we serve. Here is some information to help you do the same.
