Feral Cat Financial Resources-2023

2023 Information will be updated as we receive it from municipalities. Before you schedule, verify any financial assistance for the scheduling team so that you can make informed decisions before trapping.

****DO NOT trap before you have a plan for appointments and payment.

*** To use municipality assistance, you must show proof of residency in a Borough, City or Township to participate.  You must present tax/utility bill for the person living at that residence and admission paperwork for the cats must be the name and address of that residence. If a municipality provides vouchers, you must have an appointment at NNN before you can pick them up. Maximum 3 appointments per person at a time. If the municipality approves, the resident can pick up additional vouchers with proof of appointment. A voucher is your payment and you must bring it with each cat. Each municipality that participates has an ANNUAL budget for TNR and once funding is exhausted, you will either wait until the next year or pay the $40 fee.

ALL COMMUNITY CATS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY-NO WALKINS AT THIS TIME.

Please follow the directions below.

 1st STEP Email admin@nnnlv.org with your name, address, phone number and your municipality, i.e. Borough, City, Township. Upon receipt of your request for # of cats, you will be emailed back that you are approved from this site.

2nd STEP: GET your appointments through this website. wwww.nnnlv.org. Book Now aka LION appts. Feral cats do not require a deposit when scheduling. Each feral cat will need an individual appointment. If you do not know the sex, color or weight, put female, black, age 1yr and 7 lbs. NNN provides a maximum of 3 appointments. You will receive a confirmation email from scheduling with your appointment date.

3rd STEP Once you get the email confirmation of your date from scheduling, EMAIL:

  • admin@nnnlv.org with the date of your surgery, your name and address (again) and a volunteer will mail your paper vouchers 2 weeks before your surgery date. Volunteers have NO access to your appointment date so this step is critical to getting your vouchers mailed 2 weeks before your surgery date.
  • Bring the vouchers with you as payment on your surgery day.
  • Loaner traps are available at the clinic with a refundable $25 deposit 1 week prior to your surgery date. NNN also has 1 drop trap per clinic.
