TNR SWVA

These are just a few of the many community cats that we've been able to help this year. The little orange guy had an upper respiratory infection and was given antibiotics prior to his release. We've also been able to assist their caretaker with food and provide another insulated straw house for them this winter. One of our volunteers continues to work closely with their caretaker. There are more kitties in the colony that she is working to TNR.

Thanks to supporters like YOU, we were able to give these babies the care, love and second chance that they deserved! 🐱💕

Shop today & change a life. 30% of every order from Brews & Blessings goes directly to TNR SWVA.

Roses are red,🌹
Violets are blue.💙
Kitties need to be spayed. 🐈‍⬛
And neutered, too! ✂️

Help us spread the love - today and every day! 💘

Kitten season is just around the corner! While we haven't let the weather deter us from trapping this winter, we’re preparing ourselves for the surge of kittens needing our care. From early spring to late fall, shelters experience an influx of unwanted litters. We want to do everything that we can to prevent this and to provide any needed support to our community cats' caretakers. 🐈

Just $52 covers the cost of a surgery, rabies vaccine and ear tip at our local low-cost spay/neuter clinic. Give the gift of love this Valentine's Day - help us make a difference in the lives of our community cats. ❤

“Historically, many cat owners have been puzzled about when cats should be spayed/neutered. Leading veterinary organizations, such as the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, the Association of Feline Practitioners, and the Association of Shelter Veterinarians are trying to clear up the confusion. Since cats can get pregnant at five months of age, these veterinary associations support spay/neuter of cats prior to five months. Spay/neuter by five months of age prevents the birth of unwanted litters of kittens, thereby reducing relinquishment of kittens to animal shelters.”

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. We also find homes for the friendly ones through our partner rescues!

Thank you for helping us help the community cats of Southwest Virginia! 🐈‍⬛

Big or small, YOU can help us make a difference in the life of a homeless kitty.

Our mission at TNR SWVA is to advocate and participate in Trap-Neuter-Return for community cats in Southwest Virginia. We provide assistance to members of our community to humanely control cat overpopulation so that we are decreasing the amount of suffering, shelter intakes and unnecessary euthanasias.
