T.N.R. Rescues and Programs
*We are NOT a TNR Rescue. This is just a resources page*
What is T.N.R. (also known as T.N.V.R.)?
"T.N.V.R." stands for "Trap, Neuter, Vet, Release".
T.N.R. is very important to keep down the population of the stray cat community,
whose numbers are getting larger every day.
Many cats that are trapped are considered "feral", meaning they are essentially wild animals
and cannot live in a home, and would be happiest to be returned to the outdoors.
T.N.R.ed cats that have been returned to the outdoors get their ear tipped, so they can be
identified as a cat that has already been T.N.R.ed by fellow trappers.
Most T.N.R. rescues or programs will provide other veterinary services as well, such as
rabies vaccinations, deworming, antibiotics, emergency veterinary care, flea medications
and preventatives, abortions, etc.
Cats with incurable illnesses or injuries are usually humanely euthanized, because it would be cruel to release
them in a state where they cannot defend themselves or where they would succumb to their illnesses.
Very friendly cats and most kittens are adopted out to loving homes instead of being returned outdoors.
Cats that can tolerate people but do not prefer to be indoors are often adopted out as "barn cats".
We have a barn cat programs here at Playful Paws for our trapped cats that would love to live on your property!
