Sometimes, Claire Redman gets a two-for-one deal when she’s out TNRing. This male and female were in the same trap together! They are now sterilized and vaccinated for rabies. They will be released at their trapping location in the morning.

We are grateful that Dr. Boley and his staff are able to accommodate and adjust when a situation like this occurs.

Thank you to all of our wonderful donors for making services like TNR possible. If you’re interested in becoming a member of PAWS of Benton County, please visit our website.

Here’s a great opportunity to be a helper and part of the solution in our community.

Benton County Animal Shelter needs donations of towels and laundry detergent.

Our TNR Program is halfway through 2026.

Here is what we have accomplished in 6 short months.
🐾 23 males have been neutered
🐾 15 females have been spayed
🐾 38 cats have been returned to their trapping location
🐾 18 cats have been determined as adoptable and taken to the Benton County Animal Shelter (15 being kittens).
🐾 A median estimate of 60 litters of kittens have been prevented in 2027 as cats are able to produce one litter 3-5 times per year.

This impact is only possible through your support. Membership is the easiest way to help support PAWS of Benton County TN’s mission.

In addition to TNR, PAWS offers spay/neuter vouchers for Benton County residents, free vaccine clinics, “Good Samaritan funds” at local veterinary providers, funding and support for the Benton County Animal Shelter for medical and non-medical expenses.

For $25 for a single person or $40 for a family, you are helping the animals in our county. If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to be part of the solution, here’s an opportunity. Join our organization today.

Please remember that the policy for PAWS of Benton Co. TN Spay and Neuter program has changed!

Voucher recipients will receive a text message AND an email letting them know they are at the top of the waiting list.

*If you do not FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS in the email, you will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list*

PAWS of Benton County, TN has issued nearly 100 vouchers in 2026. The amount of vouchers that have been issued far outweigh the number that have actually been redeemed. We have to wait for vouchers to be redeemed in order to balance the checkbook. When there are outstanding vouchers, we have to wait to process more vouchers.

It's time to get the folks who will be responsive through this waiting list! If you aren't responsive, you'll have to continue to wait.
