TNR isn’t just setting a trap and calling it a day. It’s coordinating feeders, mapping colonies, loading and unloading traps, late night pickups, early morning clinic drop offs, paperwork, transport, recovery monitoring, cleaning, feeding, and then returning every cat safely back to where they came from. For every cat that gets fixed, there are miles driven, hours worked, and a whole lot of physical labor happening behind the scenes. Most TNR projects take two days and two nights from start to finish. It’s exhausting, but every cat altered means fewer kittens born into suffering and one more step toward solving the overpopulation crisis. To everyone who donates, sponsors a surgery, lends a trap, transports cats, or simply shares my posts: thank you. Your support directly turns into cats being sterilized, vaccinated, and given a better life. This work is only possible because of a community that cares. 🩷

I do TNR as well for my local community cats. I pay for this out of pocket as well, with no help from anyone. Rescues, the city and my neighbors know I do this. It costs me $45 for each cat, a day off work, half a tank of gas (1 and 15 min drive to the clinic and 1 and 15 min drive home) and all the supplies used. I do this for the cats. It absolutely breaks my heart seeing them live outside, I know outside life is all ferals know but they really have never been given the chance at a normal home. I just do what I can for these cats and continue to care for them after the vetting. You’re a wonderful role model and a wonderful advocate for animals 💜
This world seems to have a severe lack of people who give a s*** right now, so thank you for the hope you inspire even if it might seem small. It matters and you matter ❤
That's why I leave comments when I usually don't, I hope the engagement is supporting your channel and efforts!
You are such an angel to do so much for kitty cats. God bless🙏😻
Huge respect to everyone who helps animals. 💖
I am unsure how it works in the US but I suggest blurring or blocking the sticker on that package if there is any private info on there. Don't know if anything is different, just used to everyone censoring those types of things.
I'm a vet, you are doing amazing work! You are helping the community and the kitties. This helps reduce disease spread and competition but also benefits local wiildlife!
That's less than I thought it would be, but I imagine it adds up if you're doing it all the time. Thank you for helping them out, sucks that the city was unreliable
You’re a rockstar, I’m forever a cat person and this heals my heart
Ty for making a difference, important work 🐱
thanks for all the work you do!
Thank you so much.
Thank you for being who you are
I appreciate your hard work! ❤
Thank you for doing this. I used to take care of a colony but i moved. Its frustrating because i dont have the money to do more. The spirit is willing but the wallet is empty.
You’re an angel for doing this ❤
Thank you for doing what you can for the kitties
Thank you for taking care of the furry babies! You're amazing, I thought this was your full time job, how inspiring!
My mom did TNR out of her pocket for many years. It was a hard thing and most of her neighbors hated her but she didn’t dump the cats in their neighborhood, she was just trying to reduce the problem. Then a flood happened and took out all but like two houses in the neighborhood including my parents’. Sadly a lot of the cats didn’t make it. But my parents relocated to a small acreage outside of town and they were able to take the remaining cats with them. The cats really acclimated well and the remaining colony was able to live out their lives with a safe space and access to food and water. They’ve all since passed but I think my mom was glad to have helped them.
I volunteer on big spay days but I'm only in the clinic. Thank you for sharing what before and after looks like! I always wondered
