Sioux Empire TNR Coalition

The Sioux Empire TNR Coalition is dedicated to reducing the homeless cat population through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, spay/neuter assistance, and promoting responsible pet ownership to ensure healthier communities for both cats and people.

Feline Valentine 2026 brings cat lovers together to support Trap‑Neuter‑Return for community cats in the Sioux Empire. Your ticket helps us provide spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, and safe return for feral cats who share our neighborhoods. 🐾 Fill out this form to reserve your spot, add guests, and choose how you&rsquo;d like to support. ❤️ Every registration directly backs our volunteer‑run TNR work for local cats.
