Free Roaming Feral Cats

• The Municipality's free roaming feral cats are eligible to receive TNR-Trap, Neuter, Return. The Sanctuary at Haafsville does not have resources to trap and relies on volunteers and residents.
• Members of the public with free roaming cats can arranged to have the cats spayed or neutered at No Nonsense Neutering. Please see No Nonsense Neutering's website at:
