Part of Ireland's TNR Manual
How to Help Community Cats
This section of the site contains information for trappers working and volunteering on TNR projects in Ireland and beyond - and for anyone interested in TNR.
TNR Manual for Ireland
Our TNR Manual for Ireland, a Best Practice handbook, is designed to be brief and portable, with the bulk of the supporting information easily accessible online.
Targeted Trapping
How to target trap an entire county – and, hopefully one day, the whole of Ireland.
Humane Traps and Equipment
Highlighting and explaining the equipment and paperwork you’ll need for your trapping endeavour.
Trap Transfer
You have a cat in a trap and want to transfer it to another holding cage such as a trap, cage, pen or carrier. What next?
Hard-to-Trap Cats
Don’t be discouraged. There are several unique but straightforward techniques to humanely trap hard-to-trap cats.
Relocation
Even if done with proper protocol, relocation can be ineffective and even dangerous for cats
The bulk of our information is contained in the TNR Manual For Ireland. The Manual is a best practice handbook, designed to be brief and portable, with the bulk of the supporting information easily accessible online. See the TNR Manual section of these pages to find the information for trappers, expanding on the manual (see also our Vet Pack for veterinary staff).
Initially, the bulk of our online information informed the Manual. As time goes on, we're expanding and updating that information to give you a holistic understanding of the issues, attitudes and best practices of TNR. It's more complicated than you might think!
