We hold our shelter building workshops throughout the fall and winter season. Shelters built during the workshops are then made available to caretakers and colonies in need. The workshops are also a great venue for caretakers to network with others in the animal rescue and TNR community.
SHELTER BUILDING WORKSHOPS:
Since we started in 2010 we’ve built over 6,000 shelters! 
Our 2018 – 2019 shelter building workshop season is over but thanks to all our hard working volunteers we still have plenty of shelters in stock to sell through the rest of the winter season. From Nov 2018 – Feb 2019 we made 700 shelters of which 600 are already out there, on the street, keeping cats warm and safe.
We hope to see you next season when we start our workshops again. Follow us on Facebook to keep tabs on when they start or send an email to tnrths@gmail.com and ask us to add to you to our volunteer email list.
