Get a permit to participate in the TNRM Program

Last updated January 15, 2024

Would you like to take care of street cats? You can get a permit from your borough to participate in the Trap-Neuter-Release-Maintain (TNRM) program. Find out how here.

To get a permit, you must: 

  • Be 16 or over.
  • Not have been declared guilty of an infraction under the Animal Welfare and Safety Act or an infraction of the Criminal Code that involves an animal. 
  • If you trap cats that are not on your property or you are a tenant, you must get authorization from the property owner. Some boroughs require written authorization or a power of attorney form from the board of administration for owners in a co-ownership situation or a housing cooperative. 

The TNRM permit is free of charge and valid for one year. You must have it in your possession when carrying out program activities.
