TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return)

The Mission of Cats Alive! SLV is to reduce the number of feral and abandoned house cats in the San Luis Valley of Colorado through vigorous spay/neuter programs and, when possible, assist finding caring homes for kittens and tame cats.

CAT advocates for and supports felines whose caretakers cannot provide for them, as well as for those cats living in counties with inadequate or non-existent low-cost clinics or shelters. By helping cats remain in place, our work reduces the numbers of cats brought into shelters who would otherwise be euthanized. All cats deserve to live in peace in their colonies with appropriate care. Trap, neuter, return (TNR) is the most effective and humane method of working towards this reduction and involves humanely trapping feral cats, neutering them and providing vaccines, and then returning them to their outdoor homes once they have recovered. In order to achieve this goal, we will: Work in partnership with local veterinary offices and clinics to have feral cats TNR'd so that cat colonies come as close to possible as 100% sterile. Aside from financial assistance, this includes transportation of cats and providing shelter to cats recovering after surgery Educate cat colony caretakers on TNR Provide assistance to colony caretakers with food and shelter as needed Make an effort to find caretakers for colonies who are without one Identify and bring outdoor kittens and non-feral cats into foster care for socialization and eventual adoption Keep a record of colonies in central Virginia so as to keep up with future support that might be needed Make annual estimates of reduction or remediation of colony sizes so as to estimate achievement towards our goal

I am a registered vet tech and have been rescuing and fostering dogs for the last 20 years. I am passionate about spay and neuter and wanted to make a difference.

We are an all volunteer non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization who's main goal is to eliminate unwanted cats and kittens throughout Horry County through promotion of TNR program. We are all cat lovers, many with over 20 years experience in rescue. We feel that euthanization is not the way to control cat population. We do not abort a pregnant cat - instead we foster until she's had her babies, adopti out the kittens and spay mother, ultimately returning her to the location she came from if it's a safe area. Otherwise, she will be relocated to one of our own colonies where we feed and water the cats daily.

It is the Mission of the Humane Society of Charles County (HSCC) to provide shelter and care for homeless, injured and neglected animals through adoption, fostering, community partnerships, education, and affordable spay-neuter and vaccine services. n 1975, a small group of community volunteers realized that the existing county animal shelter was not able to save those animals most in need and so conceived of an organization committed to the protection of injured, neglected, and abused animals that might otherwise perish without intervention. These selfless volunteers became The Humane Society of Charles County and set up shop in a garage. Incorporated as a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization in August 1979, the Humane Society of Charles County was created based on a deep respect for all life, animal, and human. From the beginning, we have held a deep commitment to care for animals and serve the community by offering love, support, and safety to the animals and respect for all. Each year, we provide compassionate shelter and care to more than 2,300 homeless animals; inspire more than 10,000 school children, nursing home residents, veterans, and community members through our humane education, Paws to Read, and pet therapy programs; provide low-to-no cost veterinary services for more than 3,000 pets in need; find homes for more than 1,600 animals; and save nearly 200 “bottle babies” from certain death through our kitten and puppy fostering programs. In 2016, we launched our Forever Friends Community Outreach program and since then have provided over 3000 community cats and their caregivers with free spay/neuter and pet food pantry services. As an open admission shelter, the HSCC continues to pride itself on our commitment to accepting all animals brought to us regardless of their health or temperament, and we hold tight to our vision of creating a community where animals are cherished and no longer need us for protection and shelter.

We are an open admission shelter for the cities of Lake Jackson, Freeport and Clute. We allow monitored intake for dogsand cats from other cities from Brazoria County. We also operate the only low-cost Spay/Neuter clinic in southern Brazoria County.

Starting out, our goal was to help our community Dog Pound enter into the 21st century. For many years, the city of Granby had a pre-historic pound. Over time there was what would have been considered a band aid applied to a gun shot wound, 3 makeshift stalls to hold dogs found as strays inside the city limits. No electricity, no water, the dogs had been left out in the weather. Rain, sleet , snow and hail. It isn't just the Post Office motto, it was the way of life in the pound setting. Having no animal control, proper, in the city limits, our beloved police department had to pull extra duty providing for the welfare of the dogs. With the dedication of the incredible Catherine McFadden, and the drive and determination of our Granby community funds have been raised to lay the foundation (literally) of the new Granby Dog Pound. Seeing what had been accomplished, we wanted to go a step further. We want to help the rest of our Granby community with not only the stray dogs, but we have now started with stray cats as well. We have started a TNR (Trap-neuter-return) program for the community, this is no longer confined to the city limits. The Granby Dog Pound is still operated for the dogs inside city limits, but; we in ENAC will now assist in the rural area as well. We have established contacts with other area rescues and shelters to transfer the city's homeless and neglected dogs out to loving homes. ​As our motto says, Rescue: It's not just a verb, it's a promise!

We are a 501c3, all volunteer, home foster-based dog and cat rescue with no facility. Our mission is to achieve a no-kill community by creating and implementing strategies that both Increase Outtake from the Shelter and Decrease Intake to the Shelter. To that end we offer both free and low cost spay/neuter, all pit bulls (and pit mixes) are altered free, a Pet Pantry that distributes over 2000lbs of free pet food to people through social services or that receive any kind of federal, state or county assistance, an Unchained Canines of Culpeper to build pens, provide shelter and dog food to previously chained dogs, and created a TNR Alliance which fosters a robust TNR program, and along with foster to adopt, barn cats placement and transfer to Mid-Atlantic no kill rescue groups we are a small but fierce group determined to reach our goal.

Elk Grove Animal Services was established in 2006, and has had a brick and mortar animal shelter since 2019. Our goal is to improve the community by protecting and advancing the health, safety and welfare of animals within the community of Elk Grove.

I actually just took over Rascal's Rescue in January. The president had a baby and just did not want to do it anymore. I have been doing rescue work since 2014 when I began working at our local humane association. After leaving there, I continued my rescue work on an individual basis. I do this to better the lives of the animals.
