All Campus Cats Live Happily After TNR: Implementing TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for stray cats is always challenging, as these cats may carry undetected illnesses that often led them to death. To minimize any potential fatality, the charity implemented exhaustive TNR protocol to prevent Peri-Operative Mortality (POM). While understanding post-surgery care is crucial for the well-being of returned cats on campus, The charity's volunteers established a one-week monitoring program to guarantee the recovery of the campus cats upon their return. As of today, the charity successfully conduct TNR for 35+ campus cats, often involving PPDH veterinary students from RSHP Unpad, donations, and the help from local businesses (Cat Addict Home Pet Hotel Bandung). So far, TNR efforts were conducted in the Dipatiukur campus, Tugu Kujang area, FKG, FaPsi-FMIPA and FTIP area. All the returned cats live healthy and happily. The TNR initiative is yet to be evaluated.
