TNVR stands for Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return. It is a humane and effective method for managing free-roaming cat populations. Cats are trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated against common diseases, and then returned to their original location.
TNVR helps control cat populations by preventing further breeding. It also improves the health and welfare of the cats by addressing issues such as disease transmission and territorial behavior.
TNVR begins with trapping free-roaming cats using humane traps. Once trapped, the cats are taken to a veterinary clinic where they are spayed or neutered, vaccinated against rabies and other common diseases, and may receive other medical care as needed. After recovery, the cats are returned to their original location.
