TNR: ANOTHER COLONY SAVED
One Cat at a Time
Real change happens when we work together! Partnering with Speak up for Paws, our next TNR mission targets a massive outdoor colony of over 30 cats in L’Orignal. Our goal: 20 cats fixed, vaccinated, and safely returned.
We are still on-site trapping to stabilize this population and ensure no one is left behind, perpetuating the cycle. We can’t do this vital TNR work without your support—thank you for helping us save lives and stop the breeding cycle!
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.
Planning ahead? Ask about our subsidized spay to prevent surprises!
