The Ankeny TNR group was founded shortly after the Iowa Animal Rescue League dissolved their contract with the city of Ankeny. The Animal Rescue League got numerous people already doing Trap/Neuter/Release in Ankeny together to talk about the situation and what to do next.

Since April 2024, we've advocated for minor changes to the city code, talked to the City Manager's office about how to approach TNR realistically, and trapped a lot of cats.

Where do I start?
