Audrey's TNR Program

04/04/2022

**UPDATE**
We now have space again!!

We’re excited to announce that we are now offering FREE spays for pregnant cats! This program is strictly for outside cats that are pregnant and will be returned outdoors after surgery. This program is not for your indoor cats or cats you plan on rehoming.
We will cover all fees and all you have to do is trap the cat and drop off/pickup.
All cats will be spayed and receive an eartip.
Have stray pregnant cats outdoors that need to be spayed? Please message us!

**This is temporary program till June. Please take advantage of this opportunity while it’s here**

It’s been quite awhile since we’ve posted and unfortunately it’s because our TNR program hasn’t been running. But we have great news to share with you guys!! We plan to bring back our TNR program this summer and would also like to introduce a new program for owned cats but we want YOUR opinions so we can make it fair for everyone.
We plan to offer low cost spays for owned female cats only. This program would be specifically for low income owners that are unable to afford a spay.
Now we need your help so we can get this program running as soon as possible.

•For those unable to afford a spay, what price would you feel comfortable paying? $10, $20, $30, other?

•What other help do you need? Transport to and from the clinic?

•How do you feel would be the best, safest, and most comfortable way to confirm low income status? Id, food stamps, other?

Please feel free to leave your feedback in the comments or message us! We want to be able to help out as much as we can but need your help in order to make this happen.

After working for over a year to help decrease the population of cats in the RGV we’ve been able to successfully spay and neuter over 1,000 cat’s since June 4th 2020 to today.
As we end the month of august we will unfortunately be temporarily suspending all spay and neuters of non pregnant cat’s from August 20th to June 1st. It breaks our hearts to have to do this but unfortunately we no longer have the resources that we used to have. We hope to be able to do small amounts of cats throughout the year but only time will tell right now.

We will continue to provide our spay services for all pregnant cat’s throughout the entire RGV and RGC. With that being said, if anyone has a pregnant cat needing to be spayed please text us at 956-778-0750 and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

We hope all the cats that have been through our program are doing well and as always, we’d love to see updates! If you haven’t already, please feel free to join our TNR alumni group and share pictures of your colony cat’s!

Do we have any cat lovers out there that would be interested in sponsoring a spay/neuter for a stray cat?
For just $40 you can help change a cats life for the better. Not only will you be helping that one cat but you will be preventing hundreds if not thousands of kittens from being born in the valley.
We have been getting at least 10 strays fixed weekly and we are very low on funds. We are doing our very best to get as many spayed as possible but without support we can not keep on doing what we do.
If we have helped get your stray cat(s) fixed please help us by donating to other cats in need.
Interested in sponsoring a surgery? Please message us!
For every cat you sponsor, you will also be able to give them a name!

•Have you ever seen a cat with an tipped ear?
What does it mean?

If you see a cat with an eartip that means it is part of a TNR program! A TNR program get the cats spayed/neutered, vaccinated, put on preventives, microchipped, and eartipped!
An eartip is a universal way to show a cat has already been fixed and doesn’t need to be trapped again unless they are injured or unhealthy.
If you get an outdoor cat spayed/neutered PLEASE get them eartipped. Without an eartip they can be trapped and brought in for surgery again. It can all be prevented with an eartip!!

•What do you do if you find a sick eartipped cat? Bring the cat to any vet or shelter to get scanned for a microchip. A cat that has gone through a TNR program will be microchipped and should be registered to either the program or colony feeder.

•Need advice on where you can get either your stray or personal cats fixed? Message us and we can give you information to low cost places!

Hisser baby is free!
She spent all her life being chased by male cats. Thankfully she has someone that cares for her so they signed her up with our program and she was able to get spayed 2 weeks ago and never has to worry about being chased or getting pregnant ever again!

Elizabeth is rocking her eartip! No babies for Elizabeth this kitten season
Huge thank you to all the colony caretakers that are bringing in their strays to get spayed and neutered. With your help we are slowly making the RGV a better place for cats🐾

FACT: Kittens are fertile at 4 months of age!

Your adorable new kitten -- or the litter you've been feeding outside -- is able to reproduce at 4 months old. Please don't let them bring more kittens into this overpopulated world; make sure your cat is spayed or neutered by 4 months of age.

Most vets will spay/neuter when a kitten clears the two pound mark -- which is roughly around 8 weeks (2 months) of age. Consult with your vet, but please make sure your pets -- those inside and outside -- are altered before their reproductive hormones begin raging.

02/12/2021

These 2 gorgeous girls would like to show off their eartips and let everyone know they won’t be adding to the overpopulation in the rgv this kitten season!

02/01/2021

Do you have pregnant cats in your neighborhood? Message us ASAP! Pregnant cats are our top priority and we will ensure we get them scheduled right away.

All the cats will be spayed, microchipped, eartipped, and put on preventives.

Did you know that stray cats help you keep the rodent population down?
By getting your stray cats spayed and neutered you’re controlling both the cat and rodent population! It’s a win win!

We did it!! We finally passed 400 spay and neuters!

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers and people that signed their cats up for our program!
If you’ve fixed a stray cat using our program please feel free to send pictures! We’d absolutely love to see updates

Just because you see a cat roaming the neighborhood, doesn’t mean you have to call animal control. Chances are, “loose” cats may have been spay/neutered already. Just look at the ears!

If you notice a “tipped” left ear, then that cat has been picked up before, “fixed”, and released back into the wild. And it’s okay! Not only will they not be reproducing, throwing our local cat populations into a flummox, cats are equipped to live outdoors, in the heat as well as cold.

So unless your neighborhood cat looks sick or injured, don’t call Animal Control. Look for the ears, and call US instead. Thanks to Best Friends Animal Society, we have a Community Cat Program with coordinators who would be happy to answer your questions or go out and personally check on your local alley cat.

Just another way we can all work together to make a difference!

This gorgeous girl is Bailey. Bailey came into our TNR program back in June. She was injured and when we took her to the vet we found out that she was kicked! We got her spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated all her injuries. Her colony caretaker is now taking amazing care of her and all of baileys kitty friends!

09/18/2020

If we schedule appointments for your cats PLEASE show up! It’s not easy or cheap to get appointments and we can’t continue wasting appointments that could’ve been used for other cats. We have a very very very long waiting list and we can’t continue having people not show up! If you’re unable to show up we must be notified 24hrs in advance so we can find another cat to replace that spot

09/16/2020

Reminder to those that are signing up for our program
We will now be requiring all cats to be in either a carrier, small kennel, or trap.
We will no longer be accepting cats that are not in secure cages.
We are also NOT responsible for any cats that escape due to them not being in a secure cage.

09/11/2020

Look at this gorgeous girl rocking that eartip and shaved spay belly!

09/07/2020

This big boy was getting all the neighborhood kitties pregnant. Thankfully we were able to get him and a lot of his friends in our TNR program and they will no longer have to worry about the cats getting pregnant and producing more unwanted litters. TNR is so important for stray cats! Now all these kitties will live long happy lives without having to worry about babies.

The TNR program is free for the community but unfortunately we are left with the vet bills to pay off.
We currently have a balance of $2,313 that needs to be paid in 14 days! We are calling on the community to help us out.
If we’ve helped you spay and neuter your cats please help us out even if you’re only able to donate $1. $1 makes a difference. No amount is too small.
If anyone would like to help us pay off this very pricey bill donations can be called in directly to the vet clinic at 956-627-3179 The account is under Audreys TNR program.
