T/N/R (Trap/Neuter/Return) refers to the practice of catching free roaming cats in a humane trap, transporting them to a veterinarian where they are spayed or neutered and inoculated and then releasing them back into their natural environment. During this process, T/N/R volunteers discover "scared friendlies" who can be placed in homes as well as youngsters who can be socialized and do not have to continue to live a life on the streets. The cats who are returned to their environment are able to live out their lives without the problems associated with mating and raising babies.
 
T/N/R has been practiced in Europe and Great Britain for over 30 years. It is the method approved by the RSPCA in Britain for dealing with the free roaming cat problem. T/N/R in America started when Alley Cat Allies was formed in 1990. It began in Washington DC, but rapidly spread across the nation. It is the only humane method for stopping the population growth of homeless cats.

The city of Easton joined this movement and was awarded a grant from PetSmart Charities to pay for the surgeries. After one year of T/N/R the number of stray cats brought in from the city of Easton was reduced by 40%.

T/N/R programs work. The state of New Hampshire instituted a state wide program which resulted in a 70% decrease in euthanasias in shelters.

For more information on the TNR movement, see Alley Cat Allies (www.alleycat.org) and Neighborhood Cats ( www.neighborhoodcats.org). Both are sources of valuable information and support. The folks at
Alley Cat Allies always return phone calls and e mails. For help in managing a feral cat colony, see the Feral Cat Caretakers Coalition (www.feralcatcaretakers.org). This Los Angeles based group has a nice collection of practical tips and information on practicing TNR. There is even a source for updates on feral cats in the news at Cats in the News - the Feral Cat Blog (www.catsinthenews.blogspot.com/).
 What you can do:

Be sure to have your cats and dogs spayed and neutered - even one litter is too much.  Tell your friends to spay and neuter their pets - it's a matter of life and death.  Call "free to good home" ads when you see them and tell them about the low cost programs.  Encourage them to get the mother spayed.
