​

TRUCATCH TRAPS ARE REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION in TNR surgeries.
You may be declined if cats are brought in other traps, including the "silver traps". 

Why? Due to the spring loaded door as the only entry into the trap -
The silver traps hinder quick access to the felines during the clinic's process and more importantly- in an emergency! Additionally, these traps can harm a feline's tail and staff
.

T-N-R is the answer!

What is TNR?

T= Trap         You or a volunteer will use a humane TruCatch trap to catch the cat; you will ALWAYS want 
                           
to make sure to have a plan in place before trapping.

​​

N= Neuter  (or spay) The trapped cat is brought to a clinic (like ours) where the cat will be "fixed"
                           
  and given a left ear tip to provide the universal identifier as the outdoor cat being fixed

​​

R= Return    After surgery the cats are returned to the original colonies' location where caregivers will
                            continue to provide food and water

Altered Tails works with the Spay Neuter Hotline, a program of ADLA (Animal Defense League of Arizona).



ADLA can assist with TNR from A to Z!
For beginners and thorough assistance for all your TNR questions -  please contact ADLA. They can walk you through the process, answer your questions, connect you with a local trap depot, and much more!
