Kitten trap
TRAPPERS NEEDED!

Have transportation and a desire to help? We DESPERATELY need trap volunteers who are available to set traps on Friday and/or Saturday night and transport trapped cats to the Sunday clinic.

There are dozens of caregivers who are not able to trap or transport due to physical disabilities. These caregivers love their strays and want the best for them!

Operation Catnip will supply you with all the information and equipment you need!
