Trap-neuter-return (TNR) is one method promoted, primarily in the United States, as a humane alternative to euthanasia for managing and reducing populations of unowned cats. Cats Protection offers Trap, Neuter and Return schemes (TNR) for feral cats, which can help to limit disease.

As soon as a feral colony is reported your local branch steps in and a welfare officer (AWO) will assess the situation and put together a plan for trapping the cats. The first step is usually to feed the cats at the same time every day and at no other time. The trap is introduced and the food put in there until the cats are happy to go in.

Feral cats have had little or no contact with humans. They can never be tamed and this should never be attempted because they are very fearful of people and it would seriously compromise their welfare. Feral cats live alone – or in groups called colonies – and are found in towns, cities and rural areas. Many of these cats don't cope well at all in a cattery. Our Canterbury branch has been working with the owner of a smallholding in Kent to help rehome a number of semi-feral cats. So far, 18 cats have found homes but there are still ten more moggies looking for a smallholding, farm, warehouse or shed to call their own.
