In 2024, over 4,300 cats entered Utah County shelters, and only 60% made it out alive. Community cats (aka stray or free-roaming cats) are losing their lives simply because they've made a home outdoors. In many cases, they are brought to NUVAS or SUVAS where they have a 40% chance of being killed. Many of these cats thrive living outdoors because community members care for and about them. That's where community cat programs come in. These programs use trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) to save cats. The process is simple: Community cats are trapped, evaluated by veterinarians, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, ear-tipped, and returned to their outdoor homes, unable to have kittens. Lifesaving programs like these are proven to be the most cost-effective, veterinarian-approved, and animal-friendly solutions for improving the health of and reducing free-roaming cat populations. By aligning city ordinances with state law, Utah County can save lives, reduce taxpayer costs, and build healthier, safer communities for both people and pets.
