When conducting Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), be sure that each humane box trap has a trap tag fixed to it. The trap tag includes important information like: your contact information, the trap number, the location where each cat should be returned, and language alerting the public that humane trapping is in progress and not to disturb the traps.

Members of your community are caring for the cats through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). We are taking the cats to get spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal symbol of a neutered and vaccinated cat). We then return healthy, adult community cats—also called feral cats—to their outdoor home. Do not touch or move traps.

The TNR process is simple: community cats are humanely trapped, brought to a veterinary clinic to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal sign that a cat has been spayed or neutered through a TNR program), then returned to the outdoor homes to which they are bonded so they can live out their lives where they thrive.

The “Tips” refers to the small ear tip that cats receive during TNR, marking them as spayed or neutered and vaccinated. It’s a universal sign that the cat is part of a managed colony. The “ToeBeans” part celebrates the adorable little pads on the bottom of a cat’s paw, affectionately known as toe beans.

TNR stands for trap-neuter-return. TNR is a program in which feral, outdoor cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped, tattooed, and returned to the location where they were found. Then, community cat caregivers help provide these feral colonies with food, water, and shelter.

TNR is a caretaker program by which community cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped and returned back to their outdoor homes where they were trapped. "Ear-tipped" means the tip of the left ear is removed while the cat is under anesthesia; this is the universal sign a cat has been neutered and vaccinated.
