Welcome to the Sioux Empire TNR Coalition

Mission Statement

Sioux Empire TNR provides compassionate, community-driven solutions to cat overpopulation. Through TNR, adoptions, education and outreach, our mission is to promote feline welfare for all cats including community and owned cats.

Vision Statement

A Sioux Empire where rescues, shelters, government officials and compassionate community members work together to ensure all cats live healthy and happy lives.

Values Statement

Compassion — Every cat — feral, community or owned — is a life worth protecting.
Community — We can’t do this alone, and we don’t try to. We build coalitions because lasting change takes all of us.
Education — An informed community is our most powerful tool. We share knowledge freely so more people can be part of the solution.
Integrity — As a 100% volunteer-run organization, we honor and value every donation and every life entrusted to our care.

Our Goals

A long-term community commitment to, and achievement of, the reduction of the local free-roaming cat population.
Improved quality of life for homeless cats and kittens, humane treatment, and a community understanding that they are victims of circumstance, deserve care and kindness, and provide a valuable public service in rodent control.
Reduction of the occurrence of nuisance behaviors associated with mating, including spraying, yowling, and fighting so that people and cats can live in harmony.
An end to the incidence of cats and kittens destroyed by animal shelters and animal control agencies simply due to their numbers or failure to be adopted.
Education and encouragement of participation from community members, other animal support groups and shelters, veterinarians, animal care professionals, and local government so there is a clear understanding of the success that can be achieved through the operation of a strong Trap/Neuter/Return program.
