TNR benefits your community in many ways:

• Colonies that are involved in TNR diminish in size over time.
• Relieves cats of the constant stresses of mating and pregnancy.
• Mating behaviors decrease, such as roaming, yowling, spraying and fighting.
• Cat's physical health improves.
• Cats are vaccinated against rabies.
• Lower shelter intake numbers, mean less taxpayer dollars needed.

In addition to fixing and vaccinating, basic medical care can be provided while the cat is under anesthesia such as treatment for worms, fleas, ear mites or ticks. If there is an infection, antibiotics can be administered. You see, it's not JUST about fixing, but making sure that every cat is better off than when you found it.

If you are not onboard the TNR Train yet, what are you waiting for?! No program in your area? No problem, create one! Grab a trap and help the kitties whenever you can. We can all help our homeless feline friends. 💜

It's time to bust a common myth about community cats: "If you feed them, they'll never fend for themselves."

FALSE! We know that community cats are tough and capable! Spaying and neutering just gives them the tools to live longer, healthier lives in the only home they've ever know. TNR works!

Thank you for being a colony caretaker! 🐱

People can be cruel!

If you are giving away free kittens, with no adoption process, you are taking a HUGE risk with your kittens‼️

All you want is a “good home” for them, but here are your obstacles:

1. PEOPLE WILL LIE TO YOU. 😕
I’ve done it myself to get kittens out of a bad situation! AND it was easy, because the right questions were not being asked.

2. PEOPLE WITH BAD INTENTIONS LOOK FOR FREE KITTENS. 😭
These folks will DEFINITELY lie to you, often having someone more trusting pose as the adopter instead of themselves. Snake food, dog fighting, abuse, etc. Is this the majority? I don’t think so, but these people DO exist and it’s important to ask the right questions to potential adopters to be able to spot them.

3. YOUR KITTENS DESERVE MEDICAL CARE. 🤒
If you love your kittens, you want to be sure that they are dewormed, flea-treated, microchipped and vaccinated at the proper ages. You also want to be sure that your adopter will be able to afford to have them spayed or neutered before they reach sexual maturity (around 4 months of age) or be able to handle an emergency vet bill should one arise. If they can’t afford a small adoption fee, there’s a good chance they won’t be able to afford proper vet care the kitten NEEDS.

4. KITTENS MAY BE RETURNED. 🐈
As an individual, you are not accustomed to rehoming animals everyday. Take it from shelters and rescues… animals are returned for a variety of reasons. Where shelters and rescues have the ability to take them back, you, as an individual, may not. This is a bad situation for the innocent kitten as no one wants it.
If you do not have your mama cat spayed ASAP and you are giving away free, unaltered kittens, you are linking yourself to the huge overpopulation crisis that shelters and rescues are working so hard against everyday. ❌ You HAVE to look at this with a different perspective… the problem is so much bigger than just you and your litter of kittens.

If you are in Lynchburg or the surrounding counties and need help fixing a kitten or cat over the age of 3 months, please send us a message. WE ARE HERE TO HELP! If you are elsewhere, use google to find some resources in your area that may help. 🤓
