Cats: Trap-Neuter-Return

Update - September 29, 2025: Please note, this program is now closed.
Have you noticed groups of stray cats in your neighborhood?

Parkland County is teaming up with the Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) to help manage the growing population of community cats in the area.


Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is an effective and humane way to manage community cat populations. TNR involves humanely trapping these outdoor, unowned cats, spaying or neutering them, vaccinating, ear-tipping and returning them to their original locations. This controls overpopulation while allowing cats to remain where they are most comfortable.


In recent months, EHS’s Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) team has focused on four key locations within the County, successfully spaying and neutering more than 107 cats!


If you're a property owner or someone who cares for a cat colony in Parkland County, you may be eligible to participate in the TNR program this fall. Limited spots are still available—find out more here.
