Lynx Groups — finding assistance with TNR
Just because you’ve never done TNR before, doesn’t mean you can’t! Please be sure to click on the resources on either side for educational materials, ways to connect with other caregivers, low cost spay neuter, training workshops much more.
If after reading this information, you feel overwhelmed or unable to move forward with a TNR plan, feel free to contact a local mentor group where available.
Listed below are groups which have advised Project TNR that they engage in Trap-Neuter-Return. However, we cannot guarantee that they abide by the Best Practices for TNR. Please read our Best Practices to familiarize yourself with them and be sure to ask any questions of the group that you may have, BEFORE you have them do any trapping or remove any cats.
Note: We have made every effort to insure accurate information below. Please let us know of changes or additions. Thank you.
