  • 1.  TNR Traps

    Posted 05-12-2025 10:29 AM

    I have been working for the past 2 years on trying to start a TNR program for our poor, rural community. I'm finally getting closer to my goal as I have been in touch with a TNR group that wants to help make this happen for our community. We have figured out how to pay for the s/n clinics but my question is how to we obtain enough traps to pull this off. The group I am talking with can do 150 s/n in 1 day but I have no idea on how I can get 150 traps. We are barely going to pull off enough money to pay the vets. We have no extra money and live in a rural community of less than 3,000 people. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Are you partners with Best Friends?  Maybe they can post in their network for traps to support your trap depot.  

    Maybe try John Peaveler- he might know some grant opportunities.

    Happy to brainstorm more.

    Do you have an Amazon Wishlist? Add traps and post on social media that the traps are your greatest need right now. 

    A walmart Wishlist is another additional option as well. 

    Wishing you great success!
