Free TNR Resources for Local Feral Cats
The TNR movement is gaining a lot of support and attention in Chicago. Another low-cost clinic that provides spay/neuter services for feral cats, otherwise known as what I like to call their “spa treatments,” is Tree House Humane Society’s BDVM Mac Lean Spay/Neuter Clinic. The clinic is just three miles from my house! And at the start of this year, Tree House is offering these services free for those of use living in the 60647 and 60651 zip codes of Chicago. I don’t know how the cats feel about it, but I feel lucky to have such help. To promote the program, I’ve been passing out flyers during my morning jogs. And of course I’m eager to utilize this help, so last week I trapped five cats at two locations that I know needed assistance with TNR, and couldn’t do it themselves. The Community Appeal Letter for TNR in 60647 and 60651 Zip Codes is available in English and Spanish.
- Vinnie Tijuana could not resist the smell of sardines. He was the first to be trapped.
- It’s pretty warm in here, and my belly is full. Time for a nap, and then you’ll let me out, right?
- PavPav and Aga are both curious about the trap. PavPav went in first.
- PavPav is now waiting for her TNR surgery.
- Pffft! This IS my pretty face.
- What? Let me out!
