Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) for Cats: Action Kit

Community cats — i.e., ownerless, free-roaming outdoor cats — can benefit from the help of their human neighbors. And a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) program, also known as trap-neuter-release (TNR), is a great way to do that.

Do you want to get involved in advocating for community cats and implementing a TNVR program in your area? Here are some resources to help guide you through the process and educate people about TNVR for cats.

Be our Best Friend

Best Friends Animal Society is working with you to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Just a few short years ago, cats and dogs were killed in staggering numbers in this country simply because shelters didn't have the community support or the resources to save their lives. That number is now less that half a million per year, but there's still work to do to ensure a bright future for every dog and cat in America.

Best Friends operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals and is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets by working with shelters and passionate people like you. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill in 2025. Together, we will Save Them All.
