No More Litters Club

Welcome to the No More Litters Club—a special group of community cats who have been TNR’d and will never contribute to overpopulation again! These cats are the true stars of our mission, living healthier, happier lives while making a lasting impact on their colonies. Thanks to Trap-Neuter-Return, they no longer face the exhaustion of constant litters, and their neighborhoods benefit from a stable, healthier cat population. Every cat in the No More Litters Club represents compassion in action—proof that together, we can break the cycle and create a better future for community cats!

Frequently Asked Questions

TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) is a humane method of managing feral cat populations. Cats are trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and then returned to their outdoor home. This helps prevent overpopulation, reduces fighting and spraying, and improves the cats’ overall health.

Feral cats are not socialized to humans and usually cannot adjust to living indoors. Unlike stray cats that may have had previous homes, true feral cats prefer to live outdoors and are happiest in their familiar territory.

Yes! Neutered males are much less likely to spray and fight over territory or mates. Spayed females no longer go into heat, which also reduces noisy mating behaviors.

TNR’d cats typically have an ear tip—where a small portion of their ear has been painlessly clipped during surgery. This is a universal sign that a cat has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated.

Relocating feral cats is not ideal because they are highly territorial and may not survive in an unfamiliar area. When returned to their original location, they continue to thrive and help keep rodent populations in check.

We are strictly donation based organization.  We are funded solely from donations from the public.

Yes! You can volunteer with us, donate supplies or funds, help educate others, or even trap and transport cats to a clinic. Every effort helps!

Yes! Since TNR stops cats from reproducing, the population naturally decreases over time. Without constant new litters, fewer kittens are born into the cycle of homelessness.

Feeding alone can attract more cats, but when combined with TNR, the population stabilizes and gradually decreases. TNR ensures that cats are healthy and prevents the cycle of endless reproduction.

No, we focus solely on feral and stray cats in the community. However, we’re happy to provide information on low-cost spay/neuter services for pet cats in your area.

First, observe whether a mother is nearby. If the kittens are healthy, it’s best to leave them with her until they are weaned. Early socialization is key to helping young kittens become adoptable. Unfortunately, we don’t have the resources to pick them up, but we’re happy to provide contact information for organizations that may be able to help.

We return them to their original outdoor home, where they are familiar and can continue to thrive.

We can provide guidance on humane deterrents to discourage the cat from staying in the area. If the cat is feral, we may also be able to assist with TNR to prevent future litters. Let us know how we can help!

Feral cats are not socialized to humans and prefer living outdoors. Unlike stray cats, they are not comfortable in homes and do best in their familiar outdoor environment.

If you see a cat with a tipped ear, it means the cat has already been spayed or neutered through TNR. There’s no need to trap or remove the cat since it’s part of a managed colony. You can leave the cat be, but if you’re concerned about its health or safety, you can monitor it from a distance and reach out to us, and we’ll connect you with the help you need.

The TNR process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the number of cats involved and the availability of veterinary appointments. Trapping, spaying/neutering, and recovery usually take 24-48 hours, after which the cats are returned to their original location.

Yes, once a feral cat is spayed or neutered through TNR, it can no longer reproduce. However, the immediate effect is on that specific cat, and it won’t impact any other unspayed cats in the area. Over time, as more cats are TNR’d, the overall population decreases.

Removing feral cats is not a sustainable solution because new cats often move into the vacant territory, creating a constant cycle. Additionally, relocation can be stressful for the cats and may not be effective, as they typically return to their original location. TNR is a more humane and effective approach, as it prevents reproduction, reduces the cat population over time, and allows the cats to live in their familiar environment without adding to the overpopulation problem.

Yes, TNR can help reduce the spread of diseases among feral cats. Through the process, cats are vaccinated against common illnesses like rabies and feline distemper, which helps protect both the cats and the community. Additionally, by spaying and neutering, TNR reduces the fighting, mating, and territorial behaviors that can contribute to the transmission of diseases.

Feral cats are typically fearful of humans and will avoid contact, often hiding or running when approached. They are not used to being handled or socialized with people. Lost pets, on the other hand, may approach people, meow, and seem more comfortable around humans, as they are used to living indoors. If the cat is friendly and appears well-cared for, it’s likely a lost pet. A feral cat will show more caution and avoid direct interaction. If you’re unsure, you can check for identification (like a collar or microchip) or contact a local shelter for help.
