Fried’s TNR-Trap Neuter Return

10/03/2025

We have been blessed with 6,000 dollars from Michigan City funds. We will be booking Animal Control once monthly to help decrease the feline population of feral and strays. We met with Mayor Angie this past Tuesday for this incredible blessing to our TNR program.

Our calls for TNR have been numerous! 57 calls in 3 days. We currently are booking into December. We wanted to share other options. Anderson Feline Reduction is 50 dollars per cat. There is also an income based TNR or even for pets which most aren't. There link is https://petfriendlyservices.org/spay-neuter-services/spay-neuter-assistance-program-snap/
We are thrilled for the number of people coming through to help curb the overpopulation of felines!

Income -qualifying pet owners can get assistance with surgery costs through our SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program). Find out if you qualify.

Out of 11 cats 8 were female...that was part of a colony we did Tuesday. The colony caregiver found 3 moms with babies and has them now in cages or locked in garage so that they can all be found and fixed when the time comes. Today we did 11 more and 5 were females. Just blows my mind trying to comprehend how many babies will not be born because a colony caretaker cared, because a trapper pitched in, and a transporter was willing and arranged. Also because volunteers give up their day to spay and neuter like our vet, and team. TNR programs rock as well as all those who do their part!

19 felines Tuesday and 10 today. We are booked into June... do your part and get these outside strays and ferals fixed. 219-252-2872 is the number for scheduling. Our belief is whether you like cats or not, TNR is for you!

11 females and 12 males today. 10 out of the 11 females were pregnant. Can you imagine? One colony would of been quadrupled this spring had they not trapped, & transported to Fried's TNR (Trap Neuter Return) !

Tonight Fried's TNR representatives enjoyed a phenomenal dinner as well as the honor of being presented with a 10,000 grant from Michigan City Community Enrichment Corp. This will allow us to spay/neuter more cats as well as purchasing supplies! Our community is represented by many awesome people, programs, and organizations that we were blessed to spend the evening with!

30 cats today in for TNR. Just blows my mind calculating all the unnecessary births that were halted! Great job to all involved!

04/02/2024

TNR has continued to add the numbers up! 18 one day, 19 the next. 23 here and 21 there! We finished two colonies which is huge. We cannot accomplish it without all.of you, team work makes the dream work so they say!

So awhile back we TNR'D a bunch of cats behind Memos. We dealt with store owners, police, individuals, and appointments but nevertheless, because of the determination of the colony caregiver we succeeded. Well she brought me bad news and that was she was moving. She agonized over this for months until she found the perfect property. She retrapped every single cat and boarded them and when she moved she took them with! This is a feel good story that we wanted to share!

As we close out 2023 we would once again like to express our gratitude for all our supporters. Today a lady who has never used our service, walked in and told us she sold stuff to donate cash to us. She handed us 355 cash. What a blessing. However everyone who has trapped, volunteered, transported, & donated are why we can continue. Our year end total is 1,203 bringing us to 10,089 felines altered for the better! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!
