The City of Medicine Hat revealed Thursday that its first trap-neuter-return program is now in affect after city approval of a joint proposal submitted by the local SPCA and the Persian Dreams and Canine Themes Rescue Society.
TNR programs humanely trap feral cats and return them to the place they were trapped once spayed or neutered, and in good health, used a as a way to effectively controlling feral cat populations.
This program is a result of an addition to its Responsible Animal Ownership Bylaw at the Aug. 21, 2023, city council meeting.
The bylaw enables humane societies or affiliates to propose and administer TNR programs in the city.
