If you qualify for assistance based on your district, read the following information, then proceed to fill out the 'Request For Assistance' form that follows.
All cats going through the T-Town TNR program will be spay or neutered, vaccinated for rabies and FvRCP, ear-tipped, micro-chipped and returned to the same location that they were taken or trapped from. Any apparent wounds or superficial issues will be treated at the time of TNVR. Pregnancies will be terminated.
T-Town TNR DOES NOT relocate or remove cats from their current location, provide ongoing care for community cats regarding food or medical care, rescue injured cats, nor take in or adopt out cats and kittens.
When you reach out to T-Town TNR for assistance, your request goes through the following:
IMPORTANT! T-Town TNR manages ALL communication with the clinic that will perform surgery. Services are limited to the those provided by the T-Town TNR program. All costs are billed directly to T-Town TNR by the respective veterinary clinic, which we pay with donations we received from you and others.
All cats will be left ear-tipped (left tip of the ear surgically removed while under anesthesia), which is the universal sign that a community cat has been TNVR’d. (NOTE: since the left ear-tip can usually be easily seen, it is obvious that the cat has been TNVR’d, or that it is a new cat that needs to be TNVR'd.
T-Town TNR operates completely on donations. It can only help as many cats as it has funds to do so. Our program cost per cat is $72 or more. T-Town TNR Team Members cover their own vehicle and fuel expenses and most of the supply expenses. We operate with no paid staff and very low overhead.

When you reach out to T-Town TNR for assistance, your request goes through the following:
- Your request for assistance gets added to our project queue. If you have provided a valid email address, you will receive an email confirmation.
- You will later be contacted by a team member to discuss details of your request prior to a visit to the site where the cats are located. (Note: T-Town TNR always has a waiting list and wants to get to your request as quickly as you do but is limited by human and financial resources.)
- The Team Member who takes your project will work with you to plan trapping of the cat(s), which may include adjustment to their feeding schedule and location of where they are fed, as needed.
- After the Team Member communicates and schedules with our clinic coordinator/scheduler, cat(s) are trapped either the day before or the morning of surgery and a determination will be made where overnight recovery of the cat(s) will be.
- Please know that each request/project is different. T-Town TNR relies on you participation and support of the effort throughout this entire process.
