TNR: A COLONY SAVED
One Cat at a Time
Real change happens when we work as one! Partnered with the efforts of warehouse staff in Ottawa’s south end, we’ve rescued 4 kittens, one mother cat who will give birth in a warm bed, and fixed and returned many adults.
We, and our lead contact Lauren, are still on-site trapping the last few residents to ensure no one is left behind. We can’t do this work without your support—thank you for helping us save lives right here in Ottawa!
TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) is the heart of this mission. While it might seem strange to return cats to a warehouse, it is the only home many of them have ever known. By spaying and neutering the adults, we immediately stop the cycle of kittens being born into hardship.
Returning healthy, fixed cats keeps the colony stable and stops new, un-fixed cats from moving in. It also means less fighting, less roaming, and a much better quality of life for the cats.
Unexpected kittens? We’re here to help! Contact us for support and a free spay for mom.
