TNVR = Trap, Neuter, Vaccine, Return
Spaying or neutering community cats is essential for giving them a chance at a happy, healthy life. This crucial step prevents unwanted litters and helps address the overpopulation crisis. Additionally, spaying and neutering reduce nuisance behaviours, lower the risk of rabies transmission, and lessen the suffering associated with breeding while living on the streets.
Here are two examples of males who had to fight on the street to survive and for mating partners. Both of these beautiful boys got the help they needed and are living happily.
Female community cats also can have a difficult time on the street when they are left to have litter after litter of kittens. They can begin to breed as early as 5 months of age. The beautiful girl on the left was under a year when she had her first litter of 5 kittens (all males!). Our girl on the right had babies in a very unsafe place. She and her babies were safely secured and they are now free of this cycle of suffering.
