TNR Tipmobile

Help us create the Licking County TNR Tipmobile!

What is the TNR Tipmobile? A 37 foot RV that will be renovated into a mobile surgical unit. This traveling TNR vehicle will then be used to provide Trap-Neuter/Spay-Release services throughout Licking County to continue to humanely manage the community cat population.

We have the opportunity to purchase a used 37 foot RV which volunteers have already offered to help renovate into a mobile surgical unit. This will allow us to perform TNR clinics more than once a month AND take the TNR clinic out to communities throughout Licking County. The Tipmobile would serve in addition to the big, monthly TNR clinics at Refugee Canyon, increasing our capacity significantly.

A big change like this comes with a big cost. Between the purchase of the RV and renovation materials, specialized clinical equipment (anesthesia, lighting, surgical tables, autoclave, extra surgical packs/instruments, etc), vehicle insurance and vehicle costs (maintenance and gas)—we need to raise at least $50,000 dollars through grants or fund-raising to get this idea off the ground.

Licking County TNR has spayed/neutered more than 500 cats a year for the past two years and this year will probably see close to 600 cats coming through our spay/neuter clinics and still people wait months for a chance to get their stray/feral cats into one of our monthly clinics. We need to increase our capacity and this is how we can do that.

Want somebody to 'do something' about the stray and feral cat populations throughout Licking County? Here's how you can help us do what we do to humanely address the issue.
