Dear Friend of Feral Cats,        
 
 
Operation Catnip can reduce the number of homeless cats and kittens euthanized in our community but only with your help. 
   
Join us on June 6th in a community-wide effort to humanely reduce the number of stray and feral cats in Alachua County through Trap-Neuter-Return. 
 
Please make a reservation to bring a community cat to Operation Catnip for FREE spay/neuter, vaccines, and flea medication.  
    
There are lots of ways we can save lives together. Become a volunteer, donate, connect and share.
