For a $25 donation, the shelter will name a feral cat after someone who broke your heart and neuter (or spay) them.
It's part of their TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program, in which cats will be fixed, ear-tipped, and then returned to their colonies after being fixed.
This helps control the feral cat population.
According to Alley Cat Allies,
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only humane and effective approach to community cats, or unowned cats who live outdoors. Scientific studies show that TNR effectively addresses the community cat population by ending the breeding cycle, meaning no new kittens are born to a community cat colony.
Heaven Can Wait Animal Haven does say it may take several months or more before your chosen name is used, but they promise it will be used eventually!
