TVHR differs in the type of sterilization surgery performed on the cats. Unlike traditional spays (ovariohysterectomy) and neuters (castration) which are done in TNR, the vasectomies and hysterectomies in TVHR result in sterile but sexually active cats. RTF (return to field) or TNS (trap, neuter, shelter return) are alternative approaches that simply focus on the trap and desex portion and do not include a colony management aspect. In some instances, a receiving shelter will return a cat to where it was found; in other cases shelters are completely bypassed - a person takes a free-roaming live-trapped cat in for desexing, then returns it to where it was found.

Dubbed The Milton Project, the program seeks to control the overpopulation of feral colonies around the Savannah area.
