NEW AT STATE AVE VETERINARY HOSPITAL: TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN PROGRAM!
Starting November 1st 2026, State Ave Veterinary Hospital will be offering a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program to help make a difference for the stray, feral, and community cats in our area!
Community cats deserve a chance at healthier lives, too. By spaying and neutering free-roaming cats, we can help reduce unwanted litters, improve community cat welfare, and make a positive impact on our local community.
How does TNR work?
πΎ Trap: Humanely trap or safely contain an unowned, free-roaming cat.
πΎ Neuter: Eligible cats receive discounted spay or neuter services, a rabies vaccination, a permanent ear tip, and a sterilization tattoo.
πΎ Return: Once recovered and medically ready, the cat is returned to the location where they were originally found.
A few important things to know:
β’ This program is specifically for unowned stray, feral, and community cats intended to return to their outdoor environment.
β’ Cats must arrive in a secure humane trap or a carrier approved by our hospital.
β’ Ear tipping, sterilization tattooing, and rabies vaccination are required parts of the program.
β’ Additional medical care, diagnostics, or treatment may involve additional charges.
β’ Participation depends on eligibility, staffing, safety, and hospital availability.
We know community cats are a part of our neighborhoods, and we're excited to offer another way to help care for them while addressing the growing population of free-roaming cats.
β€οΈ Together, we can make a difference, one cat at a time!
