Free & Low-Cost Spay/Neuter for Community Cats (TNR) - Tomlinson's White City Cat Rescue

Benefits for Community Cats

Population Control: TNR stops reproduction, which stabilizes and eventually reduces the size of cat colonies.

Improved Health: Spaying and neutering prevent certain diseases and infections, while vaccinations protect against diseases like rabies.

Reduced Nuisance Behaviors: Sterilizing cats eliminates mating-related behaviors like yowling, spraying, and fighting, creating a quieter, more harmonious environment for both cats and people.

Benefits for the Community

Fewer Shelter Cats: By preventing reproduction, TNR reduces the number of new kittens born, thereby lowering the intake of cats into shelters.

Increased Shelter Efficiency: With fewer unwanted cats, shelters can focus resources on finding homes for adoptable pets.

Reduced Nuisance Complaints: The elimination of disruptive behaviors reduces calls to animal control, leading to higher job satisfaction for workers and a better community image for the shelter.

Cost Savings: TNR is a more cost-effective solution for municipalities than repeatedly rounding up and impounding cats.

A Humane Approach: TNR is the most humane and effective way to manage outdoor cat populations, allowing cats to live out their lives in their outdoor homes with the help of caregivers.
