Community cat care

TNR Program

FAUNA's Trap-Neuter-Return Program humanely traps community cats, provides spay/neuter surgery and core vaccinations, then returns each cat to its familiar outdoor colony.

Healthier Colonies

Spay/neuter surgery and core vaccinations improve the health of community cats while reducing disease transmission.

Stable Populations

TNR prevents continuous breeding cycles and helps stabilize colony size over time.

Calmer Colonies

Sterilization can reduce fighting, spraying, yowling, and other nuisance behaviors.
