TNR ASSISTANCE
Most towns on Long Island have vibrant and successful TNR programs in place to assist residents with TNR requests. Should you be in need of assistance, your first step would be to contact your Town or Village. As HUG is located in Nassau County, New York, contact information below is for our immediate area.
Bronx Tails Cat Rescue is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)3 cat rescue (NOT a shelter or vet). Their mission is to improve the lives of feral and stray street cats through TNR and rescue.
The City of Glen Cove has approved funding for a TNR program. The shelter provides traps to catch feral cats for scheduled neutering days, but the feral cats will not be allowed to stay at the shelter. The cats will need to be returned and released to the location where they were found.
Neighborhood Cats promotes the practice of TNR and helps NYC caretakers get their community cats fixed. They also offers financial assistance for spay/neuter surgeries. The amount of funding will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Neighborhood Cats.
If you are experienced in TNR and would like to partner with The Toby Project, please contact one of their feral coordinators. For colonies in Bronx and Queens contact tobyrescue@yahoo.com.
For colonies in Brooklyn, Staten Island, or Manhattan contact petden19@verizon.net.
The Town of Hempstead TNR Program will accept drop-offs for TNR surgeries for cats trapped within the Town of Hempstead. Contact the TOH Animal shelter for details.

Town of North Hempstead TNR Program
(516) 869-6311
TONH has a free TNR program for its residents. Humane traps are lent to residents who bring the cats in on a designated date to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and ear-tipped. Residents pick up the cat(s) after surgery and return them to their original colony after holding them for a small recuperation period. Currently, spay/neuter clinics are scheduled once a month. The TONH also has a contract with a certified humane trapper for those requiring assistance. If you need assistance with feral cats in your neighborhood, please call (516) 869-6311 and fill out a service request. Someone from the feral cat program will contact you.
