Our Mission

The Tuscaloosa Spay & Neuter Incentive Program, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was founded in the spring of 2013 with the mission of reducing the unwanted domestic animal population in Tuscaloosa County, the City of Tuscaloosa, and the City of Northport.

TSNIP works to accomplish this through two main programs: community education and feral cat control. These programs include education efforts for elementary through post-secondary students as well as the general public, and a feral cat colony program that focuses on Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). 

The feral cat program aims to control feral cat populations through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). TSNIP works to spay and neuter communities of feral cats, dramatically reducing the breeding and nuisance behaviors of feral cats in that area. This also reduces intake and euthanasia of feral cats and costs at the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter. As we succeed in reducing the number of unwanted pets and feral cats in Tuscaloosa County, the numbers of animals received, housed, and euthanized by local shelters continues to be reduced. This allows shelter workers to focus on quality care of adoptable animals and increased adoptions.

We are providing TNR for cats throughout Tuscaloosa County.  If you would like to help us trap, help us finance trapping, or report cats, please contact TNIP.
