Finding assistance with TNR
Just because you’ve never done TNR before, doesn’t mean you can’t!
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 and/or individuals which have advised up that they engage in TNR.
Please consider these contacts as GUIDES or mentors to help YOU, the caregiver, care for cats you feed with TNR. The people on this list may not be able to come and do everything for you – please work collaboratively to get the job done! Please also note that we cannot guarantee these contacts abide by our Best Practices for TNR. Please read our Best Practices to familiarize yourself with them and be sure to ask and questions of your helper that you may have BEFORE you request their help beyond basic information and equipment loan.
Further, if the groups below cannot help you and you are still in need, email us for assistance.
NOTE: If you are looking for equipment to borrow, you can borrow from anywhere. You don’t need to be in the “Area Covered.”
Note: We have made every effort to insure accurate information below. Please let us know of changes or additions. Thank you.
