TRAP/NEUTER/RETURN

TNR IS A NATIONALLY PROVEN PROGRAM TO CONTROL AND REDUCE FERAL AND FREE-ROAMING CAT POPULATIONS.

CATS ARE HUMANELY TRAPPED, TAKEN TO A VET, EXAMINED,VACCINATED, AND SPAYED OR NEUTERED.

 THEN THE ANIMALS ARE EARTIPPED, MICROCHIPPED, AND RETURNED TO THEIR NORMAL HABITAT WITH A CARETAKER TO

PROVIDE SHELTER, FOOD, WATER, AND MONITOR THEM FOR ILLNESS, INJURY ETC.

 THE BEST WAY TO START IS TO CHOOSE A CENTRAL POINT, TNR THAT AREA,AND THEN MOVE OUTWARD. THAT WAY,

THE AREA BEHIND YOU IS COMPLETED, AND CAN BE KEPT MONITORED AS THE PROGRAM CONTINUES.

 CARI HAS TRAPS FOR BORROWING. WE HAVE A VHS VIDEO AND BOOKS ON HOW TO CONDUCT A TNR OPERATION.

 WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SET UP SOME TEAMS AND TEAM CAPTAINS IN AREAS SUCH AS CUMBERLAND AND FROSTBURG.

THE TEAM CAPTAIN WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOCATING THE COLONIES TO BE TNRD,COORDINATING THE TRAPPING EFFORT INCLUDING

POSTING THE AREA SO OWNED CATS WILL BE KEPT INDOORS,PROVIDING TRANSPORT TO A HOLDING AREA AND THEN TO THE VET,

RETURNING THE CATS TO THEIR AREA  AND FOLLOWING UP TO BE SURE THE CARETAKER IS DOING THE JOB

OF MONITORING THE COLONY AND PROVIDING THE FOOD, WATER AND SHELTER REQUIRED.
