What is TNR?

Trap

Neuter

Neuter

Trap the cats in a humane trap that allows them to be transported to a veterinarian. You attract the cats to the trap with food, once the cat has entered the trap far enough to eat the food, the trap door closes so the cat cannot escape.

Neuter

Neuter

Neuter

Spay/Neuter the outdoor cat so they are no longer able to reproduce. This prevents overpopulation, animal suffering, and high kitten mortality rates.

Return

Neuter

Return

After the cats have been given a few days to recover, they are returned to their original home.

Steelton Community Cats

"Steelton Community Cats (SCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was originally started as a Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return (TNVR) program in Steelton, PA - a community, that at one point, was overwhelmed with widespread, overpopulated free-roaming cats. SCC is very proud to have taken the traditional TNR process and turned it into a true TNVR (the V standing for vaccination) as we believe it is our mission to not only return the cats to their colonies so they can no longer reproduce but to make sure each cat is vaccinated and healthy to return.  Out of a strong desire to humanely and efficiently tackle free-roaming cat colonies that were quickly becoming overpopulated, SCC was born. Since then, SCC has not only continued its TNVR program, we have extended our reach and efforts from Steelton Borough to Swatara, Lower Swatara, and Susquehanna Townships to help them reduce and care for their free-roaming cats."
