While our team has always been involved in Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return “TNVR”, our Kitten Prevention Program “KPP” was officially formed in 2021 to aid The Little Lion Foundation’s mission of eliminating euthanasia of healthy, at risk and/or treatable cats and kittens in public shelters by addressing the source of the problem — the overpopulation of cats and kittens on the streets.
KPP practices targeted TNVR — a program in which cats living outside in the community are humanely trapped, sterilized, vaccinated, and released back to their outdoor homes. In an effort to make the biggest impact for cats and kittens in need, we focus our TNVR efforts on areas which have data showing the greatest need of sterilization services. LLF pulls data from local shelters to determine which neighborhoods have the highest number of cat/kitten intakes or deceased cats picked up by animal control. Targeting these “Hot Spot” areas allows us to directly reduce shelter intake and, in turn, reduce needless euthanasia at the shelter. Targeted TNVR also allows us to reduce the spread of deadly feline disease and allows us to measure the impact of our TNVR work in the community.
TNVR is the ONLY humane solution to the problem of community cat overpopulation.
