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. Any 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 steps:
T-Town TNR manages ALL communication with the clinic that will perform surgery. Services are limited to the services provided by the T-Town TNR program. All costs are billed directly to T-Town TNR by the respective clinic, which we pay with donations we have 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 needing TNVR.
T-Town TNR operates completely on donations. It can only help as many cats and colonies as it has funds to do so. Our program cost per cat is $63 or more. T-Town TNR Team Members cover their own vehicle and fuel expenses and most of the supply expenses. We have no paid staff and operate with very low overhead.
