Community Cat TNVR sterilizes free-roaming cats and returns them to their colonies. Fewer unplanned litters means fewer animals flooding shelters a year from now. This is how you break the cycle at the source.
Report a Colony: (205) 754-7542Four letters. One proven method. The most humane and effective approach to managing community cat populations.
Cats are humanely trapped using live traps at identified colony locations across the seven-county service area.
Cats are spayed or neutered by a veterinary partner. This stops reproduction at the source.
While under care, each cat receives rabies vaccination and basic wellness checks for community health.
Cats are returned to their colony. The ear is tipped to show they have been fixed. The colony stabilizes over time.
Removing cats does not work. New cats fill the vacuum. TNVR stabilizes colonies and lets natural attrition reduce the population over time.
One unspayed female can produce 1.5 litters per year with 3 or more kittens at intake risk. Sterilizing 200 cats prevents an estimated 800 future shelter intakes.
Sterilized cats fight less, spray less, and roam less. The behaviors that trigger complaints drop significantly after TNVR.
A TNVR surgery costs a fraction of what it costs to impound, house, and process a cat through the shelter system.
Communities that implement TNVR consistently see declining intake numbers within 2 to 3 years.
