Become a TNR Caretaker! Attending a TNR workshop is the first step you should take to gain the knowledge and skills needed to help the feral and stray community cats in your area. Upon completion of the workshop, you will become a TNR Caretaker and be eligible for free spay/neuter, trap loans, educational and networking events, newsletters, community outreach materials, and other services and support within Lee County.

• Practice using a box trap and divider for trapping and in-trap care
