Fund Trap Neuter Return in San Jose

The City of San Jose is currently reviewing the fiscal years 2024 – 2025 budget, which includes funding for Animal Services. Included in this discussion is the critical funding for Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR).

Your voice is essential! The Council will hold a public commentary session on Monday, June 10, at 6:00 pm. We urge everyone to send letters supporting the funding for TNR before the vote on Tuesday, June 11. Join us in advocating for a compassionate and responsible approach to animal welfare in San Jose.

TNR is recognized as the most effective and humane method to control the population of homeless cats in our community. Without adequate funding for TNR, the number of breeding cats and homeless kittens will inevitably increase, leading to greater suffering.
