Operation CatSnip of Kentucky exists to stop the overpopulation of stray, feral and free-roaming cats (COMMUNITY CATS). We believe in educating the public on the benefits of Trap, Neuter, Return (to field) and Manage as opposed to eradication or relocation.

We are comprised of a group of volunteers that:

1.Train caretakers on trapping
2. Schedule surgeries
3. Work monthly clinics
3. Trap and transport for the disabled or elderly
4. Loan out traps, bait and trap covers
5. Educate the public on the benefits of T,N,R, M

We DO NOT:

1.  Relocate cats
2.  Take in cats that you trap to "get rid of"
3.  Euthanize cats
4.  Alter for free
5.  Prescribe or give out medications for you cat(s)
6.  Alter indoor cats

If unsure of what we do and what we don't visit the FAQ's page.


   

Operation CatSnip of Kentucky utilizes the Shelby County Humane Society Mary Gaylord McClean Clinic for our TNRM clinics. We do not have our own clinic, sanctuary or shelter. We do not offer any other services for cats (medical care, relocation, etc.) but Trap, Neuter, Return and Manage.

Right to Refuse Service
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who engages in inappropriate
