How To Safely Trap Cats for TNVR

Trapped cats require care and continuous monitoring.

For the best outcomes:
• Only trap cats the night before their scheduled TNVR visit.
• Keep trapped cats covered at all times.
  Trap covers keep the cat calm and quiet.
  This is important for your safety, the safety of the cat and our team.
• Move trapped cats to a safe, warm and dry location.
• Look for any trapped mother cats that may be nursing.
