TNR
TNR will resume in 2025!
On 10/25/24, we informed our community that TNR would be by appointment only for the remainder of 2024 and in January of 2025.
ALL available TNR appointments have been filled as of 11/25/24.
We will resume our standard TNR walk-in program in February 2025. Please keep an eye on this page for updates!
Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) is the most effective way to control the outdoor cat population and keep feral and semi-feral cats healthy.
Trap
- Call us at 513-871-0185 to reserve your spot for TNR. You’ll pay a $10 deposit to save your space! All appointments full as of 11/25/24. Walk ins resume in February 2025!
- Once your appointment is reserved, use a humane box trap (Tomahawk, Havahart, or Tru Catch recommended). Traps must be at least 9”x 9” x 26-36”. You can rent traps from OAR for a $70 refundable deposit per trap. Stop by the clinic Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., to borrow up to two traps at a time for an up to two-week period.
- One feral or semi-feral cat/kitten per trap—no exceptions.
- Cover with a towel (or other fabric) and bring to OAR’s Spay/Neuter Clinic on your appointment date.
- Have questions about trapping? Here’s a great resource.
Return
- Pick up your cat the morning after surgery at 7:30 a.m. (Friday surgeries require a same-day pick-up at 2:30 p.m.) Your cat will be ear-tipped, and you will receive instructions about release and care.
- Follow the instructions that OAR’s Spay/Neuter Clinic staff give you for the best results.
- When your cats are ready, release them back into their established territory, healthier—and with far less chance of a kitten invasion on your property!
