All money raised will go directly towards our TNR efforts here at Homeward Bound!

Trap-neuter-return (TNR) is a humane and highly successful management technique in which community cats are humanely trapped, evaluated and sterilized by a licensed veterinarian, vaccinated against rabies, and then returned to their original habitat.

The benefits include of TNR include:

• TNR reduces shelter admissions and operating costs. Also, fewer community cats in shelters increases shelter adoption rates, as more cage space opens up for adoptable cats.
• These programs create safer communities and promote public health by reducing the number of unvaccinated cats.
• TNR programs improve the lives of free-roaming cats. When males are neutered, they are no longer compelled to maintain a large territory or fight over mates, and females are no longer forced to endure the physical and mental demands of giving birth and fending for their young.
• Sterilizing community cats reduces or even eliminates the behaviors that can lead to nuisance complaints.
