About Our Services
TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) - TNR is a humane, non-lethal method in which stray & feral (wild) cats are trapped, evaluated, sterilized, eartipped, and vaccinated. Tame cats & kittens are placed into homes as resources allow. Cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat.
Cat Captains - Volunteers experienced in trapping cats can provide instruction and hands-on assistance with all phases of the TNR process as volunteer resources allow.
Feral Cat Colony Management - Volunteers (Colony Caretakers) provide long-term care, including food, shelter and health monitoring. Ongoing surveillance ensures that any newcomers will be vaccinated and sterilized to allow the colony to diminish over time through natural attrition
Our $20 standard surgical package for stray & feral cats includes:
- Spay or Neuter by a licensed veterinarian (including antibiotic and pain control medication applied at the time of surgery)
- Vaccination against rabies
- Vaccination against distemper and other common feline diseases (cats under 6 months)
- Treatment for fleas, worms, ear mites and other parasites
- Examination and treatment for injuries and illnesses as needed
- Permanent visual identification in the form of a cropped, left eartip
- Financial assistance is available for those who qualify
How to Request Assistance and Register Your Colony
We assist residents of Marion County, but can provide a referral source for TNR if you live outside our service area. Please read-up on TNR here on our web site. To begin TNR, register your colony, or for any questions, call our "Feral Line" at 317-596-2300.

How Long Will it Take?
As IndyFeral is a volunteer organization dedicated to helping people care for stray & feral cats in central Indiana, the demand for our services is very high. There is a waiting list for spay/neuter surgeries, so please be patient
