NEW AT STATE AVE VETERINARY HOSPITAL: TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN PROGRAM!

Starting November 1st 2026, State Ave Veterinary Hospital will be offering a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program to help make a difference for the stray, feral, and community cats in our area!

Community cats deserve a chance at healthier lives, too. By spaying and neutering free-roaming cats, we can help reduce unwanted litters, improve community cat welfare, and make a positive impact on our local community.

How does TNR work?
🐾 Trap: Humanely trap or safely contain an unowned, free-roaming cat.
🐾 Neuter: Eligible cats receive discounted spay or neuter services, a rabies vaccination, a permanent ear tip, and a sterilization tattoo.
🐾 Return: Once recovered and medically ready, the cat is returned to the location where they were originally found.

A few important things to know:
• This program is specifically for unowned stray, feral, and community cats intended to return to their outdoor environment.
• Cats must arrive in a secure humane trap or a carrier approved by our hospital.
• Ear tipping, sterilization tattooing, and rabies vaccination are required parts of the program.
• Additional medical care, diagnostics, or treatment may involve additional charges.
• Participation depends on eligibility, staffing, safety, and hospital availability.

We know community cats are a part of our neighborhoods, and we're excited to offer another way to help care for them while addressing the growing population of free-roaming cats.

❤️ Together, we can make a difference, one cat at a time!

📍 State Ave Veterinary Hospital
📞 Call us at 360-748-3121 for program details, pricing, and scheduling information.

Program availability is limited and not guaranteed. Please contact us before bringing in a cat.
