Help Feral Cats Thrive, Safely
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the leading way to keep the cat and kitten population under control, while also ensuring community cats enjoy healthy, safe lives outside in our neighborhoods. PAWS Chicago is a sponsoring organization under the Cook County TNR ordinance and helps caregivers care for outdoor feral/community cat colonies.
Learn more about PAWS’s TNR program here and see volunteer opportunities below.
