Humane Society’s Community Cat Project in 78702

Dear 78702 Community:

The Community Cat Project is working to help feral/stray cats in your neighborhood and right now we are focused on the 78702 zip code.  If you have stray cats at your home, work, or hang-out spot, give us a call or email communitycats@austinhumanesociety.org. We can help you get them fixed and vaccinated for free! All cats will be returned to the exact location where they were trapped within a few days.

What is TNR? Trap Neuter and Return (TNR) is the only humane and effective approach to controlling feral cat over-population. With TNR the cats are trapped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies, the left ear-tipped for identification and returned to their territory. An ear-tip is the universal symbol that a cat is spayed/neutered and rabies vaccinated. Community cats thrive outside and can live a healthy and happy life. They are bonded to their colonies and environment.

Why is it important? TNR ensures healthier community cats by decreasing the spread of illness. TNR reduces the number of cat intakes at local shelters and the number of kittens born into homelessness. Reduce nuisance behaviors such as fighting, yowling, or spraying. TNR helps keep Austin “No-Kill”
