Below is a short list of vet hospitals that PATS used that are feral friendly. Also listed are links to animal groups that assist with TNR in various ways. Information relating to the Free Programs for Nassau & Suffolk County residents is also on the list. I have NOT included names of trappers.

This is a great website regarding TNR and ferals. The link below is a listing of various TNR programs. They also have a link to a great trap-nighborhood cats tomahawk trap with extra large trigger plate. It is light weight and comes in two sizes. The major drawback to me is the trigger plate is VERY light weight and a raccoon can easily ruin it by bending. The trigger plate, because so thin, is also quite sharp along the edges and cats have cut themselves. If you use this trap (36 inch) for recuperation, make sure to line it heavily with paper.

These are Town run programs and are for residents only. Services provided vary with the townships, so ask questions. Also if you are not a resident but caring for a residential colony, ask if your colony qualifies.
Residents can call 311 and ask for the TNR program. Calls from outside of TONH 516-869-6311-You will be contacted and depending on your situation, will either be provided with traps and pick-up or else trapping will be done for you by the contract group, All About Spay Neuter. Trapping, transport and recuperation are provided by the contract group. Believe Helping -Paws (Dr Levitan's van) does the surgeries.
Residents call 516-677-5784 and ask Shelter for TNR representative. If you are capable, you can ask for a surgery appointment and do your own trapping and recovery. Reservations are only made on Tuesdays, 3 cat max per person and 15 cat max per tuesday- TNR only on tuesdays and your call on tuesday is for appointment for following tuesday!!!
Residents call 516-785-5220 ext 5 and leave message. There is a long wait for the town to perform the actual trapping for you. However, if you can trap the cat and transport, the Town will provide the surgery and the recuperation. For a refundable deposit of $80 (2018), you are eligible to borrow traps from the Town. The Town will also provide names of volunteer independent trappers if you ask. Surgery appointments Monday and Friday (limited space) and no appointments needed Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday with up to 3 cats accepted in traps only.

This small village was one of the first to entertain the idea of TNR. The program is overseen by Barry (516-621-5600), a village employee who wears many hats. The actual trapping, transporting and recuperation is handled by volunteer residents, dedicated to making the village cat friendly. Currently they are using North Shore Animal League for surgery (2017).
Town of Babylon has a low cost feral S/N program. First contact Babylon Animal Shelter (631-643-9270 Director Chris) to complete paperwork of residency and receive certificates. You will receive names of vets that are part of the program. You then need to contact the vets. At this time (2017) the cost to you is $25.00 and includes a rabies shot, ear-tip and surgery. You can also rent traps (two doors) with a refundable deposit.
Before you trap, ask the vet you chose to use if you first schedule an appointment and then trap and cancel if you are not successful or if you trap first and then call for available spots. If you trap first, be aware that the cat could be in a trap for several days prior to seeing surgery if the vet has no spots.

I buy a straw bale at Chestnut Vale (Agway in Hicksville) on Duffy Ave. You can exit Wantagh Pkwy at Old Country Rd but head out on Duffy to Chestnut Vale, a small brick building for horse supplies and other products. Building is on north side of Duffy. If you come from Rt 106, Duffy is south of train station. The bale is about $13 (2018 winter price) and is about 3 feet long and separates into flakes which you can break apart and put into plastic storage bins or place on floor of doghouse or garage etc. The cats love to snuggle into the straw, it does not soak up water and you just put out with lawn debris in the spring.
