The TNR Project

The TNR Project humanely & successfully performs TNR which stands for Trap-Neuter-Return weekly. We are a 100% grassroots community movement of self-help volunteers. TNR has been proven to stem community cat growth & overpopulation by controlling the numbers of unwanted cats & kittens on the streets safely & humanely. 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. We have TNR'd 18000+ cats & kittens since April 2015 and it's all be done by wonderful volunteers. 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. What we prevent from being born on the streets doesn't end up in shelters, dying on the streets, suffering, being surrendered or abandoned, clogging the rescues or breeding several times a year with unwanted kittens. We want cats & kittens currently in rescues & shelters to have MORE time available to them to get into a great home...not euthanasia! We walk the talk and do good where it's needed...on the streets!

Thank you for rescuing!! 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 will 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 FACT: Only 2 out of 10 cats usually make it out of the shelters alive, which means 80% of cats entering shelters are euthanized...those are the social ones. FACT: Black cats are 80% less likely to be adopted due to superstition? Black cats have some of the most intelligent, social personalities around! DID YOU KNOW: Cats can be written off your taxes as natural pest control for your home or office? Don't use pesticides! DID YOU KNOW: You can de-flea your property by using beneficial nematodes which are the natural predator to fleas? DID YOU KNOW: The following animals carry fleas: squirrels, gophers, cats, dogs, coyotes, opossum, raccoon, skunk and others? Your flea infestation might not be from the cats... DID YOU KNOW: Cats not only take care of rats & insects, they thwart gophers and squirrels? DID YOU KNOW: It's not always cats who are pooping in your yard? Can you tell the difference between skunk, opossum, raccoon, coyote, dog and cat feces?.
