Greetings Friend of Feral Cats,
On Sunday, February 21st, we will be sterilizing stray and feral cats in an effort to humanely stop feral cat overpopulation in our community.
In observation of the 16th annual Spay Day (the last tuesday in February) we encourage you to bring a homeless cat in to Operation Catnip to be spayed or neutered. Organizations all over the world are participating in this campaign organized by the Humane Society of the United States.
Please share the cause with your friends by mouth, email, Facebook, Twitter, or however you prefer to get the word out.
Kitten season is just around the corner. Join us in an effort to prevent more homeless kittens. We hope to see you Sunday, February 21st!

Lunch Is On Us |
You work hard and we're happy to feed you.
Each month nearly a hundred volunteers enjoy complimentary lunch thanks to a few thoughtful folks who prepare a massive spread for all who help.
Show your gratitude and chip-in! The funds we use to fix ferals are the same funds we use to provide lunch. If you're able please put some change in the donation jar at the lunch table so that we can buy supplies to make lunch next month. Donations of food items are also welcome. If you would like to help prepare lunch or donate an item (i.e. refreshment, chips, pastries) please email us. |
