The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is seeking a qualified vendor to implement and operate a Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (TNVR) program for feral cats in the county.

The selected vendor will be responsible for trapping, transporting, and providing temporary housing for cats, as well as coordinating with the county's Domestic Animal Services (DAS) for veterinary services. The vendor will also be required to maintain accurate records and provide regular reports to DAS. Some key responsibilities of the vendor include: • Trapping and community coordination, including maintaining constant communication with DAS and prioritizing trapping in areas identified as high priority. • Transportation and short-term housing of cats, including providing suitable and sanitary housing facilities that comply with Collier County building, zoning, and environmental health requirements. • Monitoring and care of cats, including following written veterinary instructions and providing appropriate bedding, food, and water. • Surgery scheduling and control, including coordinating logistics with DAS and ensuring that all TNVR surgery appointments are scheduled by DAS or in accordance with DAS-established scheduling procedures. • Standard TNVR veterinary package, including spay or neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, and FVRCP vaccination.
