The TNR Project humanely & successfully performs TNR which stands for Trap-Neuter-Return weekly. We are a 100% grassroots community movement of self-help, independent volunteers. TNR has been proven to stem community cat growth & overpopulation by controlling the numbers of unwanted cats & kittens on the streets safely & humanely.
All of the cats & kittens you see here on our site have been born on the streets, abandoned, left to die or worse. They were all community street cats before we stepped in to save them. We do not pull from shelters. We believe that by staying on the streets which is Ground Zero, we will make the difference people are so desperately hoping for....No-Kill Shelters. FACT: 80-90% of all shelter cats come from the streets.....by performing TNR, we are slowing that overflow and focused on keeping them out of the shelters. Sterlize...Don't Euthanize! Thank you for rescuing!!
FACTS TO KNOW:
FACT: A mama cat can go into heat again when kittens are 4 weeks old
FACT: A kitten is of breeding age at 16 weeks old (4 months)
FACT: A female cat can go into heat every 2 weeks until mated
FACT: Once pregnant, a female cat will have that litter in 2 months (64 day gestation)
FACT: Once a male is neutered, it significantly decreases the yowling, spraying, fighting & wandering
FACT: Feral cats & kittens don't stand a chance at the shelters due to under-funding, lack of staff and fosters...they are almost 100% of the time euthanized,
