WHO WE ARE
ABOUT THE TNR NGO.
The "TNR Capturare Sterilizare Eliberare " Govermental Association, CIF 45498968, was established in January 2022 and is registered in the National Agency of Finances - ANAF.
The main goal of the TNR NGO is to stop the proliferation of community cats, which has become a difficult phenomenon to control in recent years. Thus, the role of the association is to capture and sterilize/ neuter the cats in Bucharest and the surrounding areas, with efforts initially concentrated in Bucharest.
The “TNR Capturare Sterilizare Eliberare ” NGO Association has the mission to stop the uncontrolled growth of the community cat population in Bucharest and the surrounding areas, by capturing, sterilizing and releasing them back into the territory. The Association focuses its efforts in sectors 5 and 6 of the Capital.
The association aims to implement the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) method to improve the lives of community cats and their relationship with the people in the community. In the long term, the vision is to stabilize and even reduce the number of stray cats, ensuring a better life for them and a peaceful coexistence with the inhabitants of the respective areas.
The TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) method consists of the following steps:
-
Capturing community cats in special cages, without sedating or injuring them.
-
Transporting cats to partner veterinary clinics.
-
Sterilization and deworming of cats.
-
Releasing cats in the same place where they were captured, after a recovery period.
This method ensures a better life for community cats and a long-term population reduction, without resorting to euthanasia or relocation, which have been shown to be ineffective and even harmful to animal welfare.
BENEFITS OF THE TNR METHOD .

The “TNR Capturare Sterilizare Eliberare” NGO Association has an important mission in managing the community cat population in Bucharest. By implementing the TNR method, the association aims to improve the lives of these animals and ensure a peaceful coexistence with the inhabitants of the respective areas. The method is effective, humane and beneficial for both the cats and the community, representing a long-term solution to the problem of stray cats.
