NEW! Free TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) spay-neuter at Stray Hearts/Taos Humane for community cats.

Planned Pethood Taos has donated 10 traps to Stray Hearts for loan to the public.
The shelter charges a $20 fully refundable deposit per trap.
Stray Hearts can fix up to 2 cats per surgery day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 
Trappers can drop off the cat(s) the afternoon before or the morning of surgery. 
The community cats will be vaccinated and ear-tipped for free during spay-neuter surgery.
Stray Hearts will keep the cat(s) in their trap(s) overnight after surgery so they can recover before the trapper returns the cat to its home turf and sets the cat loose.
Trapper has to agree to take the cats back to the location where they were trapped.

The EVHS offers FREE spay-neuter for Taos area community (feral or barn) cats with funding provided by the Zimmer Feline Foundation.
