FUNDRAISING

Financial Support

Operation Catnip is run by a small group of dedicated volunteers. We rely on financial donations for the continued care of our community cats. Subsidizing TNR in large colonies, unexpected medical issues, and regular supply costs all contribute to our ongoing financial needs.

We accept:

Sponsor-A-Spay

$195 That’s the actual cost Operation Catnip pays to have a cat go through our TNR program. This includes spay/neuter surgeries, rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, ear-tipping, and flea and tick treatment.

Although it may be reasonable to ask caregivers to cover the cost of surgery if they have one or two cats, what if they have five, ten, or forty!? What if the caregiver has a limited income and wants to do right by the cats, but doesn’t have funds for the surgery?

That’s where Sponsor-a-Spay comes in!

A donation of $195 would cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, flea/tick/worm treatment and ear-tipping for one cat. We are very grateful for any amount you donate, every dollar helps!
