Available in West Allis and Saukville, our TNR program serves community/outdoor feral cats for a nominal fee. Any Wisconsin resident who wants to have a feral cat spayed or neutered, and who agrees to our guidelines, is welcome to participate.
Check out our TNR FAQs for more detailed information!
Important Notes:
- Every cat who receives surgery through this program will be painlessly ear-tipped under anesthesia during their surgery. This is to indicate to concerned parties who spot them outside that this cat has already been spayed or neutered, is not a lost stray, and does not need to be trapped or caught.
- This program is solely for unsocialized, feral cats who cannot live indoors. If a social, easily-handled cat is brought in for TNR services, WHS reserves the right to intake them as a stray (if found within the county) and hold them for the mandatory stray holding period to attempt to reunite them with an owner. If an owner is not found, the animal can begin their journey toward our adoption program. If a social cat is held, we do not charge for TNR services.
- Please note that due to the currently elevated risk of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) transmission from birds to cats, we are unable to accommodate surgeries if a cat is from a dairy/poultry farm, has been exposed to a backyard flock, has been exposed to sick/deceased cats, or is showing any neurological symptoms of illness (circling, stumbling, seizures). Thank you for your understanding.
- For the safety of staff and the comfort of the animals, all cats must arrive in a trap.
- Walk-ins are not available. Surgery is by appointment only.
- Drop-off occurs in the morning, and you’ll pick up same-day in the late afternoon.
