From goodmews.org/tnvr ↗About this program
Good Mews provides a safe Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program for people wanting to help these kitties. This crucial service helps reduce future population growth of community cats, improve the health of all cats in our community, and prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of cats in shelters across the state.
Our TNVR package includes the spay/neuter surgery, injectable pain medication, Rabies and FVRCP vaccines, subcutaneous fluids, and a small surgical tattoo and ear-tip.
All cats treated through our TNVR program must be ear-tipped and tattooed.
If the cat is coming to us from within Cobb County, our TNVR standard surgery package is completely free of charge. For those outside of Cobb, our standard TNVR surgery package is $45.
Good Mews offers trap rentals with a refundable deposit, and we can provide trapping advice when you are struggling to catch a cat.
Questions
Why do we ear-tip and tattoo?
This visual marker lets trappers, animal control, and veterinarians know that the cat has already been fixed and vaccinated.
How do I place an indoor or friendly cat?
For information about placement with Good Mews, visit our Placement Page. Never abandon your pet. Abandonment puts their life at risk and is illegal.
How can I get medical assistance for an outdoor cat?
Please use our Medical Resources List to find a vet near you who is equipped to handle fractious, outdoor cats.
How do I relocate a community cat colony?
Relocation is considered a last resort, as the only safe relocation available is through Working cat or Barn Cat programs. If relocation seems like the only option, please read through Alley Cat Allies' list of resources.
