Other CORE Program Services

We conduct free TNR Workshops throughout the year in northwest suburban Cook and DuPage Counties. At our workshops, attendees:

see an informational video by Alley Cat Allies, the national feral cat resource
hear a brief introduction to PACT Humane Society
witness a trapping demonstration and receive tips for safely trapping even the smartest cats
walk away with lists of resources for low-cost spay/neuter veterinary services for feral cats,
where to get a trap, our TNR Checklist, a step-by-step guide through the TNR process, and more...
