Trap. Neuter. Release.

CAA offers TNR services, free of charge, for community cats in East Baton Rouge Parish.

Our Feral Cat Coalition program facilitates spay/neuter surgeries upon request. Please contact feralcats@caabr.org for more information about this program, assistance available for trapping, and surgery scheduling.

What are the benefits of TNR?

There are lots of benefits of TNR, for both the cats and the community they are in. These benefits include population control and reduction over time, friendlier cats, cats being vaccinated against rabies, improved quality of life, better health, and a more stabilized environment.

Studies across the U.S. have shown that TNR not only curtails nuisance behavior, but it also costs less, drastically reduces shelter euthanasia, and, over the long run, will reduce the outdoor cat population of a community. Since the implementation of the Feral Cat Coalition and our TNR program, CAA has seen a drastic decrease in our cat intake number and a significant increase in our feline live-release rate. Thanks to this program, CAA’s save-rate for cats is over 90%.
