We Educate Trap Neuter Return
Due to an overwhelming response, Yoga4Cats is currently not accepting applications for WeTNR Program services. Please keep an eye on our website for up to date program status.
Through WeTNR, Yoga4Cats educates the community on stray, feral, and community cats as well as the benefits of trap, neuter, return. The WeTNR program covers spay/neuter, FVRCP & rabies vaccinations, as well as an eartip (a universal, physical indication that the cat(s) have been altered and vaccinated). Yoga4Cats also covers the costs of vetting for cats eligible for our program. The cats are also required to be returned to the originating property.
A variety of trapping equipment is available to borrow. Yoga4Cats will also provide program participants with tips, guidelines, and coaching for safe and successful trapping.
In exceptional cases, we may provide hands-on assistance and adoption assessments for acceptance into our deCATurFosters program.
TNR Results:
Since the program launched in 2018, Yoga4Cats has achieved over 600 successful outcomes through WeTNR. Trap-Neuter-Return programs are well regarded as the only effective and humane approach to address community cat populations. Once cats are spayed or neutered, unwanted litters are prevented and the population stabilizes. TNR also significantly reduces or eliminates the stress associated with pregnancy and mating behaviors, such as yowling, fighting, and spraying.
Yoga4Cats is also a member of the Alley Cat Allies Feral Friends Network, a group of collaborative volunteers and organizations offering TNR assistance to their communities.
Did you know? The critical socialization age for cats is typically <8 weeks! That means if kittens are not exposed to people and handled before this cusp, they will likely retain their feral nature and be unlikely candidates for adoption. TNR is a great outcome for outdoor cats like this.
Yoga4Cats can help connect you to resources and tips for outdoor cat care. We occasionally receive donations that are paid forward to feral and community cat colony caretakers.
