Campus Cat Program
The Problem
Baylor’s campus is home to a growing population of feral cats. Since these cats are not tamed, their population size is not under control.
The Solution
To control the population, the Campus Cat Program employs the
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method.
​
TNR has been used safely and effectively by many communities across the country for years. Cats are humanely trapped, neutered, and then released in the same location as they were trapped after recovery.
In addition to the surgical procedure, cats also receive a rabies vaccine and an “ear tip”. An ear tip indicates that the cat has been neutered and does not need to be trapped again.
​
Trapping
PVMA humanely traps community cats on campus and transports them to and from Animal Birth Control Clinic that we partnered with.
Neutering
Once at Animal Birth Control Clinic, a licensed veterinarian performs the spay or neuter surgery and gives the rabies vaccine.
​
Releasing
After a 24-hour recovery period, the cats are transported back to campus and released.
