Full Circle MO Feral is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in south Saint Louis County.
Supporting and educating volunteer TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) trappers who encounter kittens outdoors.
We help determine the right age to remove kittens for rescue placement, and help faciliate getting the cats sterilized; addressing the root of the overpopulation problem.
Donations help facilitate and support volunteer TNR trappers.
Kittens in need of rescue often need to wait days and weeks for rescue placement.
Supporting their care with kitten food, litter and intermediate veterinary care can be vital for their placement.
TNR trappers/fosters MUST actively be reaching out for rescue backing/placement as WE ARE NOT A RESCUE.
Feral Kittens
Do not remove kittens under 6 weeks of age only observe in environment.
Identify kitten ages to determine when they’re the right age to pull for socialization and when it’s too late. Unfortunately, at 12 weeks and older, socialization is not recommended.
Defining kittens as “friendly” for rescue means they can be picked up and held.
What is TNR?
Trap Neuter Return is an effective method to control the population of community cats.
The process begins by setting up appointments with a TNR clinic.
The cats are trapped with a humane live trap. Then they will get spayed or neutered, rabies & FVRCP vaccinated and their left ear tipped (to show they have been sterilized).
Cats are held 24 hours for recovery and then returned to where they were trapped.
TNR & Rescue Resources
A comprehensive list of TNR organizations, feral friendly veterinary clinics and rescue list resources.
Kitten Diseases
Kittens born outside are vulnerable to parasites, fleas, intestinal worms, ear mites, upper respiratory infections, FIV/FELV and more.
“Cats are like music. It’s foolish to try to explain their worth to those who don’t appreciate them.”
