Due to the overwhelming number of free-roaming cats in our communities, most TNR organizations have a waitlist to be assisted. Many TNR organizations provide assistance based on the level of need by the caregiver/feeder.
Typically assistance and wait time is based on -
- Do you need "all around assistance"? Trapping, transporting, recovery and financial assistance. This usually is the longest wait as most groups rely on volunteers and donations.
- Are you able to Trap and Transport, but need financial assistance?
- Are you able to financially contribute but need Trap and Transport help?
- Can you do it all? Trap, Transport, and Donate towards the discounted rates?
When contacting TNR organizations, please be prepared to provide the above information. We appreciate your efforts and time to help the community cats.
