Feral Cat Colony Management (TNR)

Cats multiplying in your neighborhood? There's a humane, effective solution.

0/5

Before you set a single trap, you need to know what you're working with. Colony size, behavior, and location all affect your approach.

How many cats are you seeing regularly?

How do the cats behave around people?

Are there kittens present or cats that appear pregnant?

Where is the colony primarily located?

Start a colony log now.

Before trapping, spend 1-2 weeks documenting: how many individual cats you can identify (markings, ear tips, behavior), feeding times and locations, where cats shelter and sleep, and any friendly cats that might be strays vs. ferals. This log will be essential for your TNR plan.
