Benefits of tnvr
There are many benefits to TNVR, with the biggest impact being humanely reducing the free-roaming cat population. Since all cats in the program are vaccinated against viruses, such as rabies and distemper, the risk of other animals and/or humans contracting these diseases is reduced. By altering and vaccinating these community cats, we are providing them with the opportunity for a healthier life with additional longevity.
TNVR also positively impacts behavior; altered cats are less likely to exhibit nuisance behaviors, such as howling, fighting, roaming and urine marking. By spaying and neutering feral cats, we reduce the cat population, which in turn reduces the number of cats that are turned into shelters.
