Welcome!

The Lowell TNR Coalition is a collaborative group of individual volunteers and non-profit organizations dedicated to controlling feral cat over-population in Lowell, Massachusetts. Our mission is to spay and neuter all feral and stray cats in Lowell through T.N.R. (Trap-Neuter-Return). Some of the participants of the Coalition include the Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society, Kitty Angels, and the Lowell Animal Control Officer.

What Is T.N.R?

T.N.R. (Trap - Neuter - Return) is the process whereby feral and stray cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered and vaccinated by a veterinarian and then released back to their original locations after recovering from surgery. In addition, the left ear is cropped or "tipped" indicating that the cat has been sterilized.

We believe that T.N.R. is the most humane and effective way to combat feral over-population while improving the cats' overall health and well-being.
