Dear Friend of Feral Cats,        
  
The future can be different for cats in Alachua County.

Operation Catnip would like to partner with you to reduce the number of homeless cats and kittens euthanized but we need your help.

We have to spay more community cats.

If you don't have a homeless cat in mind that needs spay/neuter please contact us. We know of many colonies of cats that are in need of our help but there just aren't enough volunteers to trap and transport them all. You can make a difference.
   
Please pledge to bring a community cat to Operation Catnip on July 11th  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.
