My local(ish) shelter is starting a TNR program and are asking for volunteers. I know very little about TNR.. except that its trapping, neutering/vetting and releasing back to the colony. That's just the nutshell.
But what about "behind the scenes" or other experiences that normal people won't see? Can you guys share what can be expected? am I required to have space for these cats? (which I do not have). they won't have contact to my home at all, right?
I don't want to sign up, and then realize its not for me and abandon the cause. I want to find out as much as I can. I tried calling the shelter, but no one's answering. I figured I'd check here while I try calling again later.
ETA: I know each shelter is different, but what are the odds of them actually releasing the cats as opposed to euth. them? I don't want to be the one to bring them in only to have them PTS
