Trap Neuter Return (TNR) at the National SPCA Rathfarnham, is a subsidised neutering service for unowned or community cats. It is a humane and effective way to help manage and reduce the population of outdoor cats, while also improving their overall health and quality of life.

Someone from the shelter will be in touch to confirm a day and time to collect a humane cat trap from the shelter. A fully refundable cash deposit of €100 is required when collecting the trap.

When you collect the trap, an appointment will be arranged for you to bring the trapped cat back to the shelter for neutering.

Please note that appointments are available Monday to Thursday only. This service is only available via our Rathfarnham centre.
