Trap Neuter Return (TNR) is a humane practice of capturing and spaying/ neutering community cats, then returning them to their outdoor home. TNR is the most humane and effective way to help control the free-roaming cat population.
A caring volunteer (maybe you!) captures the cat in an approved, humane trap and brings it to a nearby spay/neuter clinic.
A veterinarian vaccinates and spays/neuters the cat, then painlessly tips its left ear. This helps identify community cats that have already been spayed/neutered.
The volunteer returns the cat to the same location they were trapped.
For help with trapping community cats, contact a local animal shelter. If you live in Greater Cincinnati or the Dayton area, call (513) 644-5600 for more information on shelters that can send a volunteer or loan you a humane trap. Many shelters are overwhelmed and need more volunteers to help with TNR. So please consider volunteering to help!
