Canine trap-neuter-return: a critical review of potential welfare issues

open access: yesAnimal Welfare, 2017
AbstractFree-roaming dogs (Canis familiaris) may be viewed positively or negatively within their communities. Negative aspects of the presence of free-roaming dogs include noise, fouling, disease transmission, dog-bite injuries, road traffic accidents and potential hybridisation with endangered wildlife species.

Effect of high-impact targeted trap-neuter-return and adoption of community cats on cat intake to a shelter

open access: yesVeterinary Journal, 2014
Approximately 2-3 million cats enter animal shelters annually in the United States. A large proportion of these are unowned community cats that have no one to reclaim them and may be too unsocialized for adoption. More than half of impounded cats are euthanased due to shelter crowding, shelter-acquired disease or feral behavior. Trap-neuter-return (TNR)

Analysis of the impact of trap-neuter-return programs on populations of feral cats

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2005
Abstract Objective—To evaluate 2 county trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs for feral cat population management via mathematical modeling. Design—Theoretical population model. Animals—Feral cats assessed from 1992 to 2003 in San Diego County, California (n = 14,452), and from 1998 to 2004 in Alachua County, Florida (11,822).

Activity patterns and interspecific interactions of free-roaming, domestic cats in managed Trap-Neuter-Return colonies

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2018
Abstract There is very little information on the activity and experiences of stray cats living in managed Trap-Neuter-Return colonies. We explored this issue on a barrier island in the southeastern USA. We analyzed activity patterns relative to both individual cat and colony variables.

Evaluation of the effect of a long-term trap-neuter-return and adoption program on a free-roaming cat population

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2003
Abstract Objective—To evaluate the effect of a long-term trapneuter-return program, with adoption whenever possible, on the dynamics of a free-roaming cat population. Design—Observational epidemiologic study. Animals—155 unowned free-roaming cats.

Evaluation of euthanasia and trap–neuter–return (TNR) programs in managing free-roaming cat populations

Wildlife Research, 2009
Global estimates of the number of domestic cats (Felis catus) are >400 million. Issues associated with free-roaming cats are of global importance because of animal-welfare and public-health concerns and impacts on native wildlife through predation, competition and disease transmission.
