Trap Neuter Return Program

Together as volunteers, we decrease the number of unsocialized community cats through education and performing TNR. TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return. Outdoor feral cats that have never been handled by humans must be humanely trapped in order to be transported to our spay and neuter clinic. Additionally, socialized cats who have been abandoned outdoors may also need to be trapped before they can be brought in for care by HSMC. To learn more about volunteering with our TNR team, please contact us at (360) 275.9310.
