An Overview 

TNR gets to the root of the feline overpopulation problem by preventing thousands of unwanted kittens being born in the streets every year. TNR also reduces the number of cats euthanized in shelters.

We developed our TNR program to help community members who see the problem and feel empowered to facilitate change.
 
We believe it is EVERYONE’S responsibility to TNR community cats & prevent kittens.
 
Our partnerships with public and private clinics allow for Kitty Bungalow to manage large-scale TNR operations and offer TNR services to the community, free of charge.

We provide numerous services such as: 

TNR: What's Included?

Trap Lending

If you're going to successfully TNR - you'll need a trap! Kitty Bungalow has a trap lending program for community partners who are participating in our TNR program. Once you fill out the application, our community cat coordinator will set up an appointment time for you. They will walk you through the process, show you how to use the trap, and share some TNR'ing tricks.

Traps are free to borrow. All we ask is that you return them at your schedule appointment time so that we can help others. A $5 donation per trap is suggested at pick up, but not required.

If you would like to pay it forward, you can donate on behalf of other community members as part of our Night School Scholarships.

Trapping Services

Kitty Bungalow staff and volunteers can come help you trap! Because we have limited resources we prioritize sending our TNR team to help community members who: 

  • Are within our service boundaries

  • Have 10+ cats (not including kittens) in need of trapping

  • Hoarding/large scale trappings

  • Are disabled, elderly, or unable to physically use the traps

​

If you are an able bodied community member, we ask that you learn how to TNR in your neighborhood (and teach others, too). Free traps and TNR education are available. 

​

Our out of pocket costs for free TNR services are approximately $75 per cat. If you'd like to pay it forward and support our services so that TNR can remain free to community members in need, please donate through Ways to Give page.
