Trap, Neuter, Return

Medical Services

Lake Humane Society is offering low cost Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services for Lake County residents.

TNR is the humane approach to addressing community cat populations. TNR improves the lives of cats, addresses community concerns, reduces complaints about cats, and stops the breeding cycle.

Community cats are humanely trapped (with live/box traps), brought to the shelter to be spayed or neutered, given a rabies vaccine, ear tipped (the universal sign that a community cat has been neutered and vaccinated), and then returned to their outdoor home.

Scheduling

TNR appointments are currently being scheduled for Tuesdays. Additional dates will be added in the future. All animals must arrive at the clinic between 7:30 AM-8:00 AM on the day of their scheduled appointment. All cats must be community or feral and arrive in a humane trap. LHS will provide a trap if one is not owned.

Please email scheduling@lakehumane.org or call 440-951-6122 X116 and include number of cats, approximate age and the best phone number to reach you.

Please note: Lake County residents are given scheduling preference based on demand.
