Feral Cat TNR (Trap/Neuter/Release) Information

There are two feral cat Trap/Neuter/Release programs available at Animal Humane.

Street Cat Companions, a subsidiary of New Mexico Animal Friends, conducts a feral cat spay/neuter clinic at Animal Humane on the second Sunday of every month, with occasional scheduling changes around holidays. Anyone can bring a feral cat (as opposed to a friendly house pet) to these clinics. We request that all cats be brought in a covered trap, but exceptions can be made if this is not possible. Each cat must be accompanied by a plastic pet carrier and a towel for post-operative recovery. The cost is a $15.00 donation payable to Street Cat Companions. Patient drop-off begins at 7:30am in the south parking lot of the veterinary clinic. If you need information about this program, or if you need to obtain traps, call New Mexico Animal Friends at 881-7297.

The veterinary clinic at Animal Humane also spays and neuters feral cats Monday through Thursday. Anyone wishing information about this program should contact the clinic at 217-0300. Each cat must come in a covered trap accompanied by a plastic pet carrier and a towel for post-operative recovery. The cost is $15.00 payable to AHNM. Drop-off is 8:00 to 8:30am. AHNM has traps available to loan out. If you need to obtain traps, call Shellie at 255-5523 extension 105. If you have questions, you may call the feral cat information hotline at 217-0300, option #5, or leave us a message; we will return your call as soon as possible.

Complete trapping and recovery information is also available at Animal Humane.
