thesolution home > the solution TNR >> Trap, Neuter, Return 1. A cat problem is noticed and a call is made or an e-mail is sent to the Milton Project. 6. Once the cat is caught the volunteers will keep the cats overnight so the veterinarian can spay or neuter the cat the next day. 2. The volunteers at the Milton project will determine the priority of the cat problem. 3. The volunteer will also call to see how many cats the veterinarian will be able to neuter or spay the following day. 7. On the day the cat is spayed or neutered the veterinarian sedates the cat and performs the surgery. 4. On the day of the trapping, the volunteers will go to the location of where the feral cat problem was reported to be. 8. After the surgery the cats ear is tipped so that the volunteers know not to trap that cat the next time they go trapping. 9. The cat is kept overnight again and released the next day in the location where it was caught. 5. The volunteers will bait each of the humane traps used and wait for a cat to walk into it.
