What This Service Does
Trap-Neuter-Return helps prevent future litters in feral and free-roaming community cat populations. Feral cats that cannot be handled can be brought in without an appointment. Free-roaming cats that can be handled need an appointment.
Why It Matters
For cats, TNR stops repeated breeding and can reduce fighting, roaming, and mating-related stress.
For neighborhoods, TNR helps stabilize free-roaming cat populations over time.
For shelters and rescues, preventing litters reduces pressure on already limited space and resources.
What to Know Before You Come
Feral cats are cats that cannot be safely handled. They must arrive in secure, humane traps and can be brought in without an appointment.
In Wichita Falls, feral cats can come Mon-Thu between 7:30am-8:30am because trapping is unpredictable.
Free-roaming cats are cats that can be handled. They need an appointment.
Ear-notching is included and required so a sterilized community cat can be identified later.
