Our Mission:
Saving Lives.
Triple R Pets is dedicated to helping the outside cats - feral or stray, adult or kitten - live safer, healthier lives. Our long-term goal is to reduce the number of unwanted kittens born outside, thus reducing the euthanasia rate of cats and kittens in the areas where we work.
Triple R Pet’s mission is TNR in the south Cook County area, south and southwest of Chicago, in Illinois. We provide Trap – Neuter – Return education and support. We cannot remove or relocate cats. We are not an adoption rescue and we do not have a shelter facility. For a list of shelter resources, click here.
About TNR
TNR (Trap / Neuter / Return) is the humane method used to reduce the population of feral cats. Feral cats are humanely trapped, taken to a veterinarian for spay / neuter surgery, vaccination, ear-tipping and micro-chipping and then returned to the place where they were trapped to live safer, healthier lives with assistance from the caretaker who TNR’d them.

Thanks to Triple R Pets, my cats are living a healthier, happier life. I love the fall shelter building workshop every year. I refresh my outdoor shelter, meet fellow caretakers and learn some new tips and tricks.

years in the community
Triple R Pets has been assisting animals and the people who love them for fifteen years. From our humble roots on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina to our Disaster on the Home Front early TNR programs in Chicago we have been actively working to better the lives of pets and their people since 2005.
1,200+

10,000+
