Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return (TNVR/TNR)
Bailey’s Human Rescue provides Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR/TNR) services throughout Johnston, Harnett, and Wake Counties in North Carolina. TNVR is the only humane and effective method of feline population control. Through this process, cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, ear-tipped, vaccinated, and returned to their outdoor homes after recovering from surgery.

Why TNVR?
The current approach to managing free-roaming cats in many parts of North Carolina is euthanasia. This method is not only inhumane, but it has also proven ineffective for long-term population control. When cats are removed and killed, the remaining cats continue breeding until the population returns to what the environment can support — creating an endless cycle of more cats being born, trapped, and killed.
​
The only proven way to stop this cycle is TNVR. Spaying or neutering cats and returning them to their outdoor homes stabilizes the colony, prevents new litters, and naturally reduces population growth. Bailey’s Human Rescue is committed to sterilizing entire community cat colonies whenever possible to create a more humane, sustainable solution for North Carolina.
