While we do not provide direct trap-neuter-return (TNR) services, we provide education and consultation to those interested in helping stray and feral cats.
PLEASE - see the 2 links below [ Alley Cat Allies and Neighborhood Cats ] for more information on trap, neuter, and return of stray and feral cats......to stop the needless breeding and euthanasia of unwanted pets. There are many documents that can be printed for reference.

Each kitten or cat is tested for FIV (feline AIDS) and leukemia (FeLV); vaccinated (distemper); spayed or neutered; microchipped; treated for fleas, worms, and ear mites; receives a complete medical examination; and receives any other necessary medical care.
Each kitten or cat will go home with a cardboard carrier, scratching box, nail clippers, toys, litter scoop, blanket, medical information, and informational articles concerning a wide variety of feline issues.
Adopting a pet is a huge commitment and responsibility. A cat will be completely dependent on you and can live more than 20 years. You'll need to have enough money in your budget to provide litter, toys, food, and yearly vet care. In addition, medical emergencies do happen, especially with high energy kittens, and you'll need to have the finances to pay an emergency fee that could run $500.00 or more.
2) No declawing. DeClawing Education that your vet office may not tell you (Declawing a kitten/cat requires amputation above the first joint of each digit. Complications such as excessive bleeding and infections can result. It’s possible that the cat will have chronic pain and/or sensitivity resulting in behavioral problems such as biting and litter box avoidance. Kittens/cats whose claws are trimmed regularly and are provided appropriate scratching posts will use those instead of your furniture. Those at SCOOP are always glad to talk with potential adopters about alternative ways to deal with cats’ natural scratching behaviors.)
3) Cat is loved and cared for the rest of his/her natural life.
4) Our goal is to find the cat a lifetime home. However, unforeseen situations do arise. Therefore, if for any reason at all during the cat’s life, the cat is no longer wanted, or cannot be cared for, he/she is returned to SCOOP.
5) Adopters need to have stable living conditions and be independent from parents for at least two years. Adopters need to be willing to take the cat anywhere they move in the future. Cats are not adopted to college students living on campus.
6) Due to the difficulty of integrating a new pet into a household with young children, we do not adopt to homes with children under age five. (Bringing a new baby into a house with existing pets is typically an easy task.)
