Thank you for reaching out to us!

 At this time we are on a hold for new requests until at least December 1st due to a current backlog for assistance. 

At Tips N ToeBeans, we currently have just four volunteer trappers, all of whom work full-time jobs outside of rescue work. Because of this, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding, as it may take us some time to get to every request.

If you’re interested in learning how to trap, we would be happy to teach you. If you are able to trap at your own location, we can provide all necessary supplies and prioritize your request.

We do not expect anyone requesting help to handle trapping, transporting, or recovery unless they are comfortable doing so. However, due to the high number of requests and the size of our team, please be aware that there will be a wait time.

Additionally, due to the rising costs of medical care for all the cats we assist—both friendly and feral—we can no longer cover the full expense of every TNR surgery. We do have limited funds available to help with surgeries based on need. Our goal remains to help as many community cats as possible, and we have several volunteers who can assist with trapping, transportation, and surgery recovery.

If you need help with trapping in Hampton or Newport News (Sorry we can not service other areas), we require an upfront donation of $60.00 per cat, which covers the minimum cost of a feral cat surgery.
