¿Nuevo a TNVR?
Atrapar, Esterilizar, Vacunar y Regresar (AEVR) es un programa en el que los gatos que deambulan libremente son atrapados humanitariamente, esterilizados/castrados, vacunados contra la rabia y otros virus felinos, se les coloca un microchip y luego se les devuelve a sus hogares al aire libre.
Se ha demostrado que el TNVR es la forma menos costosa, más efectiva y más humana de estabilizar y disminuir las poblaciones de gatos comunitarios.
