ASAP’S FERAL CAT TNR
PROGRAM
ANIMAL SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, INC.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and
feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are
humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by
veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes.
Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar
habitat under the lifelong care of the volunteers or placed in a barn
home.

There are a limited number of spaces available each day.
