We are pawsitively blown away by the love & support we received this holiday season. We want to give a huge shoutout to the staff at George's Flowers & to their kindhearted customers. Because of you, 5 more community kitties will be spayed/neutered & vaccinated! 🐈

As we enter a new year, we want to thank each and every one of you for your generosity and support in 2024. We were able to make so many furry little hearts purr this year and hope to double that number in 2025! 🎉

As we ring in the new year, please be mindful of pets and wildlife! Remember to bring your babies indoors. Feral cats know where to hide, but dogs and friendly indoor/outdoor cats may become startled, run away and get lost when the loud booms of fireworks start to sound. 🧨

Happy 2025, friends! Let's make this the best year yet for our community cats! 🐈

🚨 Help us keep our community cats safe this winter! 🚨

As temperatures drop, cats may seek warmth under your car, in the engine or on tire wells—places that can become deadly when the vehicle is started. ❄️

Before starting your car:
✔️ Walk around your vehicle and look underneath.
✔️ Tap on the hood a couple of times.
✔️ Open and close your car door, then wait a moment.
✔️ Check the tire wells.

Help us spread the word to keep our feline friends safe this season! 🐈‍⬛

As we enter the first day of winter, please take a moment to read below. YOU could save a life! 🐈‍⬛

❄️Did you know that feeding a cat with a temperature below 97° or warming it too quickly can kill it?

❄️If an animal is frozen to the ground, do not pull it off. Instead, pour LUKEWARM water around and under it. Once free, wrap the animal in a dry towel and take it to your nearest vet.

27! Kitties spayed and neutered this morning. From only two locations and there are still more that need to be altered. I can sleep a little better knowing that for these 27 little lives, a pyramid of more litters will not happen. These cutie pies get to go back to their home where people love and care about them.
I’m thankful for the caretakers and that we are able to help them. I’m forever grateful for my people and their love for the under cats as well. ❤️❤️

TNR SWVA is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of community cats in Southwest Virginia.

Our mission is to advocate and participate in trap, neuter & return for community cats; to help and provide outreach to members of the community to humanely control cat overpopulation; to create a gateway for the public through communication and exemplification to gain support of TNR; & to serve as a resource for guidance, health and welfare of community cats so that we are decreasing the amount of suffering, shelter intakes and unnecessary euthanasias, all while keeping the most important aspect in mind, to improve and save the lives of community cats. We not only provide vetting; we also regularly feed our colonies of feral community cats.

Every dollar helps us continue our mission to create a safer, healthier environment for our community cats here in Southwest Virginia. Lend us a helping paw! 🐾

As an individual, Stephanie has been helping community cats here in Roanoke, VA and surrounding areas through Trap-Neuter-Return for over a decade, purchasing traps and covering spay/neuter surgeries out of her own pocket.

By 2023, the demand had simply become too high and Stephanie made the decision to form TNR SWVA, a nonprofit focusing on the wellbeing of community cats in Southwest Virginia. TNR SWVA’s mission is to advocate and participate in Trap-Neuter-Return for community cats. We provide help and outreach to members of the community to humanely control cat overpopulation and serve as a resource for guidance, health and welfare of community cats so that we are decreasing the amount of suffering, shelter intakes and unnecessary euthanasias, all while keeping the most important aspect in mind, to improve and save the lives of community cats.
Since receiving our nonprofit status in July of 2023, TNR SWVA has assisted 481 cats in our area through our Trap-Neuter-Return efforts and helped 6 cats and 1 dog with various other vetting services. We have received outstanding support from our community and have the best group of volunteers & supporters that anyone could ask for!

Trap-Neuter-Return, or "TNR," is the most humane and effective method known for managing feral and stray cats and reducing their numbers. Each kitty that we humanely trap is spayed or neutered, receives a rabies vaccination, ear tip, and an application of Frontline to relieve them of fleas & ticks. We also deworm and treat them for ear mites if needed prior to returning them to their outdoor home after recovering from surgery.

Our volunteers are working tirelessly to protect the lives of our community cats, but we can’t continue without your support! We currently have 4 large scale locations (25+ cats) and 18 small scale locations (less than 25 cats) on our waiting list, and our list gets longer each day. Please consider making a donation to our organization this – no amount is too small! Together, we can make a difference in the lives of community cats in Southwest Virginia!
