After the first year of the TNR trap lending program, we have reassessed the process. We have determined it is more beneficial for Mesa residents that participate in TNR to purchase traps at a discounted price of $20. This enhanced program allows residents to have the TNR trap on hand for their efforts. There will be ten (10) traps sold each quarter.
First Quarter sold out
Due to the amount of interest forms received, all available inventory for the first quarter Feb. sale has been depleted. Watch for notices of the second quarter sale!
