Learn how to run a successful Trap-Neuter-Return program with this comprehensive kit from Neighborhood Cats. The kit includes The Neighborhood Cats TNR Handbook: A Guide to Trap-Neuter-Return for the Feral Cat Caretaker and the instructional video, How to Perform a Mass Trapping. Both the handbook and video have received Certificates of Excellence from the Cat Writers Association.

The handbook derived from years of hands-on experience by Neighborhood Cats covers all aspects of practicing TNR and working with feral cats. Chapters include trapping and caring for cats in traps; arranging and utilizing spay/neuter services; providing food, water and shelter; building community relations; and socializing, relocating and adopting out feral cats. Using footage from actual Neighborhood Cats TNR projects, the instructional video takes the viewer step by step through the process of trapping and neutering an entire feral cat colony.
