Trap-Neuter-Return

"The research is very clear that if you remove and euthanize feral cats, more cats move in and go into reproductive overdrive, so you're just exacerbating the problem by euthanizing them. If you spay and neuter, you reduce the population, and it's actually a more effective and humane solution for neighborhoods." - Humane League President and CEO, Joan Brown

In 2008 the Humane League stopped accepting feral cats. If you have a feral cat on your property and wish to bring it to the Humane League, you will need to schedule an appointment to have the cat spayed or neutered for a fee of just $10.00. Please follow the steps below.

How Our Program Works

1. Identify that there is a feral cat in your neighborhood (more...)

2. Schedule an appointment with our McKonly Spay/Neuter Clinic to have the cat spayed or neutered*

3. Rent a trap, if needed, from our Cat Adoption Center and trap the cat (more... )

4. Safely transport the cat to the Humane League of Lancaster between 7am and 10am on the day of your scheduled appointment

5. Pick the cat up at the designated time and follow post surgery instructions before returning the cat to its natural environment

6. Follow through and become a successful caretaker of your feral cat and/or colony

*You must have an appointment in order to bring a feral cat to the McKonly Spay/Neuter Clinic. We only have one veterinarian on staff who is responsible not only for the day to day operations of the Clinic, but also for the care of the other 12,000 animals that the shelter serves in a given year. Again, if you do not have an appointment, we will be unable to accept the feral cat.
