Community (Unowned) Cats

We provide spay/neuter services for unowned, community cats (often called feral) through our Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program. As part of this program:

Cats are humanely trapped, sterilized, ear-tipped, and returned to their outdoor locations. A rabies vaccination is administered.

Please note: This program is only for cats that are truly unowned and unsocialized. Owned, outdoor cats do not qualify and are subject to the standard $50 fee. If you’re interested in helping reduce the stray cat population by assisting with unowned community cats, please contact us to learn more about participating in our TNVR program.
