Community Cats Matter!
Welcome to T-Town TNR, a non-profit organization in Tulsa Oklahoma that uses humane Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) protocols to improve lives of existing community cats while working to stabilize and reduce that cat population.
Our organization is made up of an all volunteer membership that consists of like minded individuals that have come together over the years to fulfill a Mission that we are passionate about, that of TNVR.

Oklahoma has a major animal shelter population and euthanasia challenge. Every six minutes, a cat or dog enters one of the state’s 116 animal shelters and every 45 minutes one of those animals is the next in line to be put down. Oklahoma ranks ninth for the most animals euthanized and only a handful of states euthanize more animals per 1,000 people.
Tulsa's animal welfare community is coming together on behalf of community cats and the practice of Trap-Neuter-Return. As shelters and rescues struggle with animal intake exacerbated by kitten season, Animal Rescue Foundation of Tulsa, Animal Aid of Tulsa, Humane Society of Tulsa, Oklahoma Alliance for Animals, Outsiders TNR, Prairie Pet Coalition Oklahoma, Sapulpa Furry Friends, StreetCats Inc. T-Town TNR, and Tulsa SPCA, as well as nearly two-dozen veterinarians, are speaking in a unified voice in support of TNR.
Please participate with companion animal advocates in supporting the practice of Trap-Neuter-Return as a proven long-term strategy to reduce the breeding population of community cats.

INFORMATION & RESOURCES
Lifesaving tips for kittens!
- Do not leave food for the mother near where she has the kittens. That draws wildlife and other cats to the site which threaten the lives of the kittens. She has put them safely away from any food sources on purpose.
- If you are fairly certain that the kittens have been abandoned, put a border of flour around the kittens and leave the area (mom may be watching you watch for her) for several hours and then come back and look for prints in the flour.
- Keep in mind that if you take away the kittens without the mother cat, that she will soon be pregnant again and there will just be more kittens. If the kittens are healthy (see guide in link above), leave them with their mom and contact us with a request for assistance to get the mother spayed before she is pregnant again.
- Remember, for tiny kittens... MOTHER KNOWS BEST! She feeds them and keeps them warm and safe. Their best chance for survival is to stay with mom!
- Know that there are not enough resources in Tulsa to bottle feed and care for all of the kittens that will be bom to unowned cats. They stand a better chance with their mothers.
- For older kittens, if they are not friendly, they can be Trapped-Neutered-Vaccinated-Microchipped and Returned so that their mother can teach them how to survive as community cats.
