This Volunteer-Run NGO Neuters & Releases Strays. Here's How You Can Help
The Trap-Neuter-Return method creates a healthier, safer environment for both the animals and the community.

Stray cats and dogs are a common sight in Malaysia, and while these animals are often adorable, they face serious challenges like finding food and shelter, as well as dealing with illness or injury
Did you know a single pair of unneutered dogs and their offspring can produce up to 67,000 dogs in just six years? Cats can produce 84,000 in the same time! That's a lot of strays.
Thankfully, there's a humane solution gaining traction: Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). This method helps manage the stray population and creates a healthier, safer environment for both the animals and the community.
One organisation leading the way is Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) Malaysia, a dedicated NGO that focuses on improving the wellbeing of stray animals through sustainable population control
Run entirely by volunteers, TNRM begins by trapping strays using humane methods.
Once captured, the animals are taken to a veterinary clinic, where they are sterilised and marked for easy identification, usually by ear tipping (cropping or notching a small part of the ear).
After surgery, the animals recover and are released back to their original location, where a caregiver looks after them with regular food and monitoring.
With the TNR approach, the animals' ability to reproduce is eliminated, leading to a gradual decline in the stray population
Plus, it helps reduce aggressive behaviour and the spread of diseases.
Since TNRM is a non-profit, they rely on sponsorships to fund their work.
