Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only humane solution to the feral/community cat population problem. It is the No. 1 way PAWS Chicago is going to reduce the kitten and cat population on the streets of Chicago and at Animal Care & Control (the city pound).
PAWS Chicago is a sponsoring organization under the Cook County TNR ordinance and helps caregivers care for outdoor feral/community cat colonies.
To be a legal Outdoor Cat Colony Caretaker specializing in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), you must be registered with a sponsoring organization (like PAWS Chicago), who reports your colony statistics to Cook County annually.
