Cats Spayed & Neutered in Clarion Borough

Every number represents a cat no longer contributing to overpopulation

Stabilizing outdoor cat populations over time is key to lasting impact. When cats are simply removed, new cats often move in to fill the space- a process known as the vacuum effect. Spay and neuter through TNR breaks this cycle and creates long-term, humane population control.

Meet Oatmeal

Oatmeal was trapped as part of an outdoor litter during a local TNR effort. While receiving care, volunteers discovered she was incredibly sweet and social. The neighbor who helped trap her fell in love and adopted her.

Now healthy and safe in her forever home, Oatmeal represents what humane solutions can make possible for both cats and the people who help them.

Ben and Helen’s First TNR Outing!

Founders and Volunteers, Ben and Helen, set humane traps for the very first time across several areas of the borough with support from local residents and businesses who welcomed the initiative and offered space to safely place traps.

On their first ever outing, they trapped five community cats with another four being trapped by other volunteers. All of these cats received spay/neuter surgeries, rabies vaccines, and flea/tick treatment.

“It was a meaningful beginning and a reminder that lasting change happens through collective action!” -Helen
