Removing cats from an area by killing or relocating them is not only cruel, it's pointless. Scientific research from animal control prove that catch and kill doesn't clear an area of cats. Each time a cat is removed, a new one will appear, or a kitten will survive through a natural phenomenon known as the "vacuum effect". This creates an endless cycle of trapping and killing.

TNR is the only proven, effective, and humane way to control the cat population. Neutered cats are returned to live out their natural lives. The breeding cycle stops - no more fighting, spraying, yowling, roaming, and producing. The cat population stabilizes and declines over time, reducing the surplus of cats to the shelter and lowering euthanasia rates.

• Line the bottom of the trap with newspaper, cardboard, or towel
• Do not leave unattended for protection of the cat.
• Remove cat to a safe place once trapped. Consider placing food bowl inside a slightly larger bowl of water to discourage ants.
• Cover trap with sheet or towel for cats protection. Do not bring wild cats without a cover.
• Never move trapped cats in an enclosed trunk or bed of a pickup truck. If you have a transport it in the back of a truck make sure it is secure and covered properly.
• Cats will be returned to the trap after surgery and should be kept in a safe place one night after surgery to regain its functions.
• Provide food and water as soon as you get home with the cat. Release cat only into its home territory or follow relocation guidelines.
