Trap Neuter Release Program

TNR Program

TNR Program Update: Services are temporarily paused due to capacity constraints. We appreciate your understanding and will share updates as they become available.

The Trap Neuter Release Program (TNR) is a way to lower the number of community (feral) cat colonies around the Lowcountry.

All feral cats MUST be within a humane trap prior to arrival. Please note, we CANNOT accept cats in the TNR program if they are in a carrier or any other container and will be denied services if not in a proper, humane trap prior to arriving at the clinic. Space is limited, on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a limit of two (2) cats per person.

We accept community cats on Thursdays for our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program—no appointment needed. Our clinic opens at 7:00 am and can accommodate a limited number of felines on a first come, first served basis. We recommend arriving early to wait in line at the door, as we reach capacity each week. Cats must be picked up the same day before 3:00 pm from the Spay/Neuter Clinic, located on the right side of the building.

TNR cost is $25 per cat and includes:  microchip, distemper, rabies and ear tipping.
 

We recommend holding cat(s) overnight in the trap for monitoring, and releasing them the following morning as there is a risk to early release.

TRAP RENTALS

Due to the wear and tear our TNR traps sustain, we have instituted a fee to enable Pet Helpers to maintain the safety, durability, and workability of our traps for all those involved in the TNR program.  Thank you for understanding and helping Pet Helpers to sustain this life-saving program.
