TNR Feral Cat Initiative (TNRFCI) is a 501(c)3, nonprofit corporation dedicated to humanely reducing cat overpopulation by educating the public about the need to sterilize their pets and strays; providing access to free and low-cost spay/neuter services for stray, homeless and abandoned cats; helping members in their efforts to place adoptable cats in loving homes;and advocating non-lethal population control and humane public policy. TNRFCI works toward a world where every cat is valued and protected and every community and shelter has policies and programs to save their lives.

TNRFCI is working in communities to champion low-cost spay and neuter policies and programs, as well as life-saving Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and Shelter-Neuter-Return (SNR). Once viewed as radical new concepts, these humane cat protocols are now mainstream. But we still have a lot of work to do. We are serious about bringing life-saving policies and programs for cats to your community.

We are a resource of dedicated cat caregivers, advocates, non-profit groups, and volunteers driving change and accelerating protection for cats. TNRFCI is dedicated in providing assistance with homeless, stray and feral cats as an alternative to euthanizing them.

Our Mission involves three main goals:

Changing Communities for Cats - Every cat deserves a safe community in which to live, wherever they live. TNRFCI educates, trains, and mobilizes advocates to hasten strategic, life-saving change for cats in their communities, using the power of the legal and political system to end ill-conceived laws and ordinances.

Saving Cats’ Lives in Shelters - The prevailing wisdom used to be that cats should be indoors—even if that meant killing millions of outdoor cats. TNRFCI works with shelters to implement systemic change, transparency, and accountability within the U.S. animal control system to end the killing of cats.

Protecting Cats in Society - Cats have resided outdoors for more than 10,000 years, as citizens of the natural landscape. Today their vital environmental role continues. TNRFCI works to inspire a paradigm shift in society’s view of cats–all cats–through education and accurate information. TNRFCI is dedicated in working with citizens, businesses and communities to stabilize and reduce the feral and stray cat population. We promote TNR (trap-neuter-return) as the most effective strategy for Feral Cat control utilizing responsible management of TNR'ed Cats through sterilization and vaccination.
