Strays In Holding

Our primary mission is to reduce the stray and feral feline population within Nanton town limits through the use of our TNR Program (Trap, Neuter, Release).  NAPS is awarded grants from the the Town of Nanton to assist with these efforts, in addition to multiple donations from local service groups and charitable organizations.  The program will remain active as long as funding is available.
​
  • Trapping takes place by request from the public, and requests are completed in order of receipt as time and space are available.
  • ​Any tame felines trapped through the TNR Program will be held for the duration of their holding period. Once the holding period is up & veterinary care has been provided, their profile will be transferred to the "Adoptable Cats" page & they will be available for adoption.
  • Any feral felines trapped through the TNR Program will be listed below for the duration of their holding period. Once the holding period is up, they will be transferred to the Barn Cat Program or re-released at an approved feral colony feeding station after sterilization and tattooing.
  • We hold some feral felines (generally females) for up to 4 days from the date of intake.
  • Tame felines are held for 5 days from the date of intake.
  • Owners looking to claim a feline in our possession must contact us with proof of ownership and make an appointment for pick-up.  
  • Felines that have gone unclaimed for the entire holding period will receive veterinary care such as sterilization, tattoo, vaccination and de-worming. If an owner comes forward after the veterinary care has been provided, and proof of ownership is confirmed, the Society will ask that a flat rate of $100 plus a donation towards the veterinary expenses be paid prior to the return of their animal.
