Mission
Operation Catnip mitigates suffering for community cats and provides support for their caregivers through comprehensive programming.
Program accomplishments
- Creating Lasting Impact though Clinical Services In 2025 Operation Catnip provided programs and services that empowered individuals and the community to control the community cat population through affordable and accessible spay-neuter and vaccination services with a total of over 8,340 Spay-Neuter surgeries, of which 1,750 were through our Kitten Shelter Diversion Program. This program alone kept over 1,500 kittens out of the local shelters and rescues. Our Working Cat Program placed 145 unsocialized cats into working cat homes, saving them from euthanasia. Catnip also administered 16,093 vaccinations, including rabies vaccines.Expenses $609,789 · revenue $191,048
- Building Humane Communities through Caregiver Support Programming that provides the resources Caregivers need to be successful in managing the cats in their care. These resources include trapping training, education, traps and trapping equipment loans, care for seriously ill or injured community cats, and trapping and transport for those unable to do so on their own. In 2025 we served 1,078 unique caregivers in 59 municipalities covering 17 counties.Expenses $226,422
- Transforming the Landscape with Volunteer Support and Student Training Operation Catnip provides proactive programs and services aimed at targeting cats that are frequently overlooked or unseen.
