Notice the cat, behavior, number of cats, and immediate risks.
- 2Report
Share photos, the general area, access details, and concerns.
- 3Trap safely
Authorized trappers use humane equipment and a coordinated plan.
- 4Veterinary care
Spay or neuter, vaccines, eartip, deworming, and needed treatment.
- 5Recover
The cat rests in a safe, temperature-controlled recovery space.
- 6Return
The cat returns to the original outdoor home when medically safe.
- 7Monitor
Caregivers watch for health changes, newcomers, and food needs.

Common questions
Community cat and TNR FAQ
What is a community cat?
A community cat is an unowned or loosely owned cat living outdoors. Some are friendly, some are cautious, and some avoid close contact with people.
What does an eartip mean?
An eartip is a visible sign that a community cat has already gone through a sterilization program. Include a clear ear photo whenever possible.
Why are cats returned outdoors?
Healthy community cats are normally returned to the outdoor home they know after veterinary care and recovery. Friendly cats, young kittens, and cats with medical needs may require a different plan.
Why can’t I see the exact location?
Exact locations could put cats, caregivers, and private property at risk. The public map intentionally shows only generalized areas.
What information makes a report useful?
Photos, number of cats, behavior, eartip status, feeding pattern, exact private location, access permission, hazards, and illness or injury concerns are especially helpful.
Can I help even if I cannot trap?
Yes. Transportation, recovery space, food, supplies, donations, photography, outreach, and follow-up monitoring can all support the program.
Location privacy:
the center of each circle has been rounded to roughly a
one-kilometer area. Exact coordinates, feeding stations, and
caregiver information are not included in this page.
