Here is some info for people filling out our TNVR request form.

🐈‍⬛Once you fill out our request form, our VOLUNTEER will call you to set up your appointments and give you instructions. Everyone gets called 3 times. That wastes a lot of time if you aren’t going to call back. We can’t help you if you don’t return our calls.

🐈‍⬛Please cover the trapped cat at ALL times. They should be covered from the time they are trapped until the time they are released.

🐈‍⬛Please don’t transport them in the back of an open pick up truck. It’s both scary for the cats and illegal. Please reach out for help transporting if you don’t have an SUV to transport them in safely.

🐈‍⬛We will only accept feral cats in traps. Please don’t bring it in a carrier. This is for the safety of all involved. We don’t want to get bit or have the cat get out someplace it is not familiar (and we don’t want anymore cats on our properties😩). Please take cats back to your property in traps. There is no need to transfer them into carriers to take them home. It just stresses them out.

🐈‍⬛Please don’t enter our yards or buildings if you aren’t sure what/where to pick up. These are our homes and we have families. Please park in front of our garage (at our Millville and Vineland HQ) for pick up/drop off. Our volunteers have access to other areas but our TNVR properties should park in the driveway while conducting cat business. If it says Do Not Enter, please Do Not Enter.

🐈‍⬛Please be respectful of our properties. Recently we’ve had a light broken pulling into our driveway and some other damage from cat business.

🐈‍⬛Please only use the addresses/driveways given. Sometimes people pull in a neighbor’s driveway and walk over to get their cats. This blocks their driveway and if people continue to do this, our neighbors will most likely complain and we won’t be able to keep doing what we do. Also, please don’t drive through our side yard and use the neighbor’s driveway to come or go. We have barriers up to not drive through but it’s still happening.

🐈‍⬛If you have any questions at all about where to go or what to do, please message Rita or the phone number given to you when making arrangements. We usually answer promptly.

We love doing this and we don’t want a few people to ruin what we have going on. We work full-time and want to be able to help people and allow pick up and drop off while we work but please make sure you know where to pick up and drop off if you aren’t sure.

If you need TNVR help, please fill out of form to get on our waitlist.

You will need to do some of the work. It’s just so much more efficient and goes quicker for everyone. We are working hard to transport and recover your cats. In some cases, we are out working hard to raise funds for some cats. If we are helping to raise funds, it would be AMAZING if you could help at those fundraisers too. We have many road clean ups for your to help raise funds for your property.🥰

We helped save Bingo last spring from a local business on a busy road. Today, she was adopted! Thank you Rescue Kitty and foster mom Mikaela for all you did for her.💗

For Kitty’s Sake’s Candy (former VT girl) was tired of being alone so foster mom Ann came to our event today to adopt her some friends.🥺

Thank you to Adrienne’s Pet Grooming for helping our boy Vincenzo feel better by getting his matts out. He needed a few shaved and some brushed out but we can tell he’s felling better.

He was fixed back in the fall and since we have space and some resources for friendlies, we scooped him back up.

We are so appreciative to Adrienne’s for always helping us out to help our friendlies find rescue.

Thank you to our friends at Tails Up Paws Down for donating some much needed dog items to a person in need.

When a Village member reached out for some dog items, we knew just who to contact. Within a day or two, the items were delivered to our HQ and then into the hands of the owner.

Munchkin needs a hero. 🦸‍♀️

She was trapped back in January and was scheduled to be released. It’s easier said than done. It’s so hard to release a 3-4 lbs kitten back outside.😢. But it’s even harder to place an unsocialized kitten as she gets bigger.

We told the trappers that we would hold her for one week to see if she came around any. That week ends today. We’ve worked with her some but working full time and caring for a lot of other cats is not the ideal situation.

She needs someone with a lot of time and is experienced with socializing. She is scared but handleable. We’ve never seen her be aggressive.

We are ultimately seeking rescue for this adorable girl. She is spayed and vaccinated. We could get her combo tested upon request.

Please reach out if you can help. 🐈
