Feral Cat Assistance
Help Feral Cats
For animal lovers, it can be incredibly hard to see an animal living a life outside. However, a cat that has grown up outside typically experiences extreme distress when brought inside. The more humane option is to Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return (TNVR) the cat to the colony it has always known.
By performing TNVR procedures for community cats, we can fight the overpopulation problem, reduce suffering from obvious wounds, and vaccinate them against the diseases that spread rampantly through colonies.
If there are cats you would like to treat in our TNR clinic, please call us at: 717-983-8878.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are walk-ins accepted?
All cats brought to the clinic must have an appointment. Due to the volume of need, we cannot accept walk-ins and book appointments two weeks prior to the clinic date.
Is this for all cats?
TNR clinics are for feral and stray cats only. Owned cats can receive services through our spay/neuter clinics.
Are there any costs?
The cost for TNR is $40.00 per cat. This includes the surgery, rabies and FVRCP (Distemper) vaccine, and ear tipping. Other services, such as additional vaccines and testing can be performed for a nominal fee.
What is ear tipping?
All cats will have the very tip of their left ear removed in order to identify them as being altered and cared for in a cat colony. Due to the need for this distinct identifier, all cats that receive TNR services are ear tipped without exception.
When do I need to pick up the cat?
All cats must be picked up the same day of their TNR appointment. We are not a boarding facility and do not house TNR cats overnight.
Are additional services available?
Basic medical care (cleaning wounds, treating infections, etc.) can be performed at TNR clinics. A slight cost will be incurred to cover the materials used. It will be at the sole discretion of the veterinarian to determine ailments and treatment plans for TNR cats.
