Who Makes Operation Catnip Possible?
Feral
Cat Caretakers
Operation Catnip is a
spay/neuter clinic and does not participate in the actual trapping of
cats. We partner with those caring individuals who have become part of the humane
solution by responsibly maintaining feral cats in their communities. In
order to use the Operation Catnip program, these caretakers must assume responsibility of trapping and transporting
cats to and from
the clinic
and ensure adequate and continued care for the cats for the remainder of the
cats' lives.

Volunteers
Operation Catnip is a nonprofit
organization run entirely by dedicated volunteers. Licensed vets perform all
spays and neuters while vet technicians, vet students and trained lay people
provide technical and administrative support. No experience is necessary
-- we are happy to provide any necessary training. Operation Catnip is always
looking for volunteers to staff its clinics, answer phones or assist with
publicity and fundraising projects.
To volunteer with Operation Catnip, send us an e-mail.
Free vs. No-Cost. Thanks to the veterinarians and other volunteers who generously donate their time, Operation Catnip can offer its clinics free of charge. However, the cost of medical supplies is very high and Operation Catnip relies entirely on donations from the public to run its clinics -- we receive no government funding of any kind. We estimate that the cost to sterilize and vaccinate each cat is at least $20 so please consider a tax-deductible donation to Operation Catnip.
