BARN CAT AND TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN PROGRAMS | UPPER VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY
Provides placement in barns and other outbuildings of cats who are not able to live as house pets and have nowhere else to go. All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption. Also provides Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services, which is a non-lethal, three-step method used to reduce the number of feral and stray cats, both immediately and in the long term. Trap: Feral or stray cats are trapped using a safe, humane live trap; Neuter: Trapped cats are spayed/neutered and vaccinated by a veterinarian; Return: Spayed/neutered cats are returned to their home location. Outbuildings that are acceptable are those where cats will be safe from vehicles and other common dangers. Building owners agree to provide shelter, daily food and water, long-term veterinary care as needed, and to initially keep cats in a secure place for the first two-three weeks. TNR: Provided on a case-by-case basis based on location, size of colony, staff availability, and ability of landowner to assist.
