TNR is endorsed by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ( RSPCA) as “the most humane, effective and financially sustainable strategy for controlling free-roaming cat populations” and “the only proven humane and effective method to manage feral cat colonies.

The EU has also endorsed “community-based Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs with on-going responsible management as the most viable, long-term approach available at this time to reduce feral cat populations.

The Cats Protection UK is another supporter of TNR understanding that the care of feral cats “is society’s responsibility” as their wild nature is the result of human neglect .
