About this program

These traps are available at no cost to the public for up to two weeks, with a small deposit required. We'll only charge the deposit if the traps are not returned within the agreed time. Due to high demand, there is typically a 1-2 week waiting period, but we'll notify you as soon as a trap becomes available.

Our Community Cats program is designed to provide you with the tools and support needed to humanely manage feral and stray cats in your area. We're not a rescue service, so we do not remove cats from your property. Instead, we empower you with resources to trap and care for community cats.

We also loan specialized traps for situations where cats are harder to capture. Drop traps are ideal for cats that have learned to avoid standard humane traps, while larger traps can be used for bigger or more difficult-to-trap cats. Requests for more than two traps at a time are considered on a case-by-case basis.

If you need a trap for a lost pet or an injured/sick community cat, please contact us immediately at (678) 561-3491 for assistance.

What is TNVR?

Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return, or "TNVR," is the most humane and effective method known for managing Community Cats and reducing their numbers.

I have wild cats at my home or business, will you come get them?

In short, no, and neither will Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement. Wild/feral cats are treated as wildlife in Georgia and are only to be removed from their habitat when sick or injured.
