Together, we can make a difference for stray cats

ABOUT

Craven/Pamlico TNR Project began operating in September 2024. Our primary goal is to help caregivers of community/stray cats get access to free and low-cost spay/neuter services. TNR (Trap, Neuter & Return) is the process of humanely trapping stray cats and sterilizing them. They are also "ear-tipped" to show that they have been part of a TNR program, then returned to the same location in which they were living.

Progress Report

These photos were taken at the Fix A Friend Spay/Neuter Clinic near Wilmington, N.C. Their facility was devastated by a flash flood that occurred during the tropical storm that hit North Carolina on September 16th. Everything in the building was completely destroyed and they are working feverishly to get the clinic up and running again. Unfortunately, this office is where we had most of our client appointments. Our appointments have now been rescheduled for November 20th and 26th, 2024. In the meantime, we are still trying to get pregnant cats in for immediate care. If you believe your cat is pregnant, please write to us at craventnrproject@gmail.com or TEXT us at (252) 670-1378. Make sure and mention your cat is expecting! We are working on getting a building to house our office, traps, cat food & supplies, as well as cats that are going in for spay/neuter surgery. We've had a HUGE public response and although the flooded clinic has set us back a bit, we're working on getting appointments scheduled for every kitty that needs to be seen. We have our Facebook page up and appreciate everyone's kind words and cat photos. We'd love to hear from you! Please let us know about your experience with us, your ideas, comments, suggestions, etc. You can email us at: craventnrproject@gmail.com or shayne@craventnrproject.org

The Craven/Pamlico TNR Project has received a grant that will pay for getting community cats spayed & neutered.

We appreciate your continued support as we work to help control the population of community cats in Craven & Pamlico Counties. Studies show that TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) effectively curbs the stray cat population by ending the breeding cycle, meaning no more kittens are born. Cats are humanely brought to a veterinarian to be spayed or neutered and ear tipped (to show they have been sterilized) and then returned to their outdoor homes. We couldn't do this crucial work without your donations and support. We thank you very, very much!

Your gift allows us to help Craven/Pamlico residents get community cats spayed and neutered at no cost or low cost. TNR helps both community cats and residents by providing a safe, effective, humane way for residents to coexist with cats.

PLEASE consider making a $25 per cat donation when your cat(s) go in for surgery. This will help us continue to get other cats fixed. Your appointment IS NOT dependent upon making a donation - they will still be spayed/neutered even if you're unable to make a donation at all! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

I understand that these procedures will be performed to the best abilities of staff & volunteers and that outcomes are not guaranteed. I further understand that cats face risks during trapping, handling, anesthesia & surgery & I hold Craven/Pamlico TNR Project & its volunteers, Craven Pamlico Animal Shelter & its staff, as well as any other animal hospitals we may use, harmless should a cat experience complications, injury, escape or death.
