Trap. Neuter. Return. Care.
What TNR is
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the humane way to help community cats. Cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated when possible, and returned to their outdoor home. A tipped ear is the universal sign a cat has already been through TNR, so no one traps them again by mistake.
Why it matters
Unaltered community cats keep having kittens. TNR stops that cycle, reduces fighting and spraying, and improves cats’ health, while letting healthy ferals stay in the territory they know.
How Mighty Cat Coalition helps
We TNR community cats and support partners who trap
We pull at-risk cats from BARC when we have foster space
We keep an eye on outdoor cats in our area, feeding, watching for illness or injury, and arranging medical care when needed
Friendly community cats sometimes come indoors for foster and adoption when it’s safe and the right fit
Ear tip
If you see a cat with a straight cut at the tip of one ear, that cat has already been sterilized. Thank you for leaving tipped cats be, and for telling us if one looks sick or hurt: mightycatcoalition@gmail.com
