Trainings are held by request. You will learn about community cats and best practices in TNVR. You can also borrow or return a trap at these sessions which usually last about one hour.
TNVR can reduce community cat numbers by socializing young kittens and finding them homes.
How Old is That Kitten?
The age of a kitten is important when trapping. You don’t want to separate a young kitten from its mom if it can be avoided. Young kittens rely on mom to not only feed it the best nutrition it can get but she also keeps them at the right body temperature and helps them go to the bathroom, which they can’t do on their own until they are about three weeks old.
Once a kitten is eating on its own and exploring away from the nest, around 5 weeks old, the kittens can be trapped and brought inside for socialization and a life indoors.
Safety First
See a doctor if you are bit by a cat
Be safety smart!
First and most important; if you are bitten by a cat, seek medical attention as soon as possible!
Infections from cat bites start deep within the tissue and rise to the surface over several days.
Once a cat is trapped it can act on instinct and be unpredictable. Do not attempt to touch or handle a cat in the trap.
