News Flash!
|
Many of you have heard rumors buzzing that Operation Catnip is no longer its own entity but is a project under the umbrella group, No More Homeless Pets, Inc.
The rumors are true!
We are very excited to be part of such a progressive coalition. The current
Operation Catnip activities will continue without change for now. No More
Homeless Pets will be establishing a high volume, low cost spay/neuter facility
in Gainesville. We hope to expand our feral cat program beyond the monthly
clinic as early as next year.
Please visit our new website and make suggestions! We need your input! E-mail the OC Coordinator at operationcatnip@nmhp.net.
