Support for TNR

Philadoptables is committed to helping community cats in the Philadelphia area. Through this commitment, we have sponsored many TNR surgeries.

TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return. Community cats are cared for by feeders who are residents of the community but with over 400,000 stray cats in Philadelphia, it is important that these cats are spayed and neutered. Once a community cat is spayed or neutered, they will have an ear tip that shows this so if they are trapped again, it is already known that they are fixed.

By assisting with funding for these surgeries, Philadoptables is supporting our mission of helping to reduce the number of cats and kittens being brought into the city’s open intake shelter, ACCT Philly.

Community Cats Receive Medical Care + TNR

When trapping outdoor cats, you never know what type of medical issues you may run into. Helping community cats is part of our mission.

When our friend Angelo reached out to us and asked if we could assist with the spay and neuter of about 15 cats from a colony in Philadelphia, we of course said yes!

While in surgery at Forgotten Cats, it was found that this kitty had an injured eye that was causing pressure to build and would eventually rupture. We sponsored the cost to have his eye removed in addition to his neuter. This could be the only time that a community cat gets vet care so we wanted to ensure this guy got what he needed medically!

Want to help? We have a fund specifically for TNR and you can note for your donation to go to that fund!

Our first TNR clinic was a huge success!

Sunday, August 23 was an amazing day! We co-hosted a TNR clinic which was totally free to anyone who brought in an outside (or three or five) cat for spay/neuter surgery. This service is vital to keeping a control on what often becomes an overwhelming situation as cats reproduce. Our total for the event was not 100 as planned – it was 119 cats through surgery- 52 female and 67 male kitties! The cost of the clinic was covered by Philadoptables and The Peanut Fund. The Philly cat community rocks- such special people! Listening to all the stories of their beloved community/outside cats was really wonderful.

We are HAPPY to help such great animal lovers and THANK everyone who came out today! Special thanks to Marta for organizing the event and for the wonderful care given to these kitties by PAWS staff Natalie, Lucy, and their team.
