Feral Cat Trap Neuter Release (TNR) Program

FREE FERAL/STRAY CAT SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM

The Humane Society of Garland County is still offering free spay/neuter and rabies shots for feral and stray cats. This program will assist in cutting down on the over population of feral cats and cut down on the diseases spread and kitten births in the wild. If you or a neighbor have stray cats that are being fed, if they are not spay, they will multiply very quickly. Then next year you will have double or triple the number of cats.
We do not do surgeries every day, so please call the Humane Society at 501-623-5012 so we can set the next available appointment for you. Then you will bring them in on the appointment day, and pick them up the same afternoon to release them in the environment they are surviving in. We do have traps to loan if needed.

Population(s) Served

We take in stray, abandoned, neglected, or otherwise unwanted dogs and cats and provide needed vet care, including spay/neuter, vaccines, and heartworm testing and treatment if positive. We then shelter them until they are placed into prescreened permanent homes. We also accept foster applications. We advertise via our website, Facebook, and complimentary ads in the local newspaper.
