The TNR program is back up and running! Please read CLOSELY and follow all of the steps to participate!
Our TNR program is back up and running! Some things have changed so ‼️PLEASE READ CLOSELY‼️:
- There is now a $45 "rental fee" per trap. This money is returned to you once the traps are returned to us in GOOD condition. The fee has gone up because we have new and better traps!
- You can have the traps in your possession for a MAXIMUM of 2 weeks unless discussed with WCAWC prior.
- Our days for surgery are Monday - Wednesday. Drop off is between 8-9am and you MUST call before you bring any cats in for surgery.
Below are the steps to follow if you wish to participate in this program:
Step 1: Call the White County Animal Control at (574) 583-7103.
Step 2: An officer will confirm a feral/outdoor colony overpopulation and provide you our program information.
Step 3: Come to the White County Animal Wellness Center to rent a trap for $45 per trap. This fee will be returned to you. You also MUST use our traps. This is how we will track incoming surgeries and locations of spayed/neutered cats.
Step 4: Catch your colony member(s).
Step 5: Bring the occupied trap(s) to WCAWC during our business hours for surgery.
Step 6: Return to WCAWC at the end of our working hours to retrieve the cat(s).
Step 7: Release the cat(s) back into their colony once awake.
Step 8: Return your trap to WCAWC and receive your rental fee back!
With your participation in this program we can help stabilize feral cat colonies! If you have any questions call us at (219) 255-9286. We are excited to be able to offer this to our community!
