Let us know if you are the caretaker of feral/community cats and would like to sign up to have your kitties spayed or neutered. Space is limited at each event and on a first come, first served basis. Send us an email to let us know about your kitties and their location. Please include your name and phone number. We do keep a waiting list in case someone drops out or schedule for next event.
We also need volunteers to help with each TNR event. Send us an email if you'd like to volunteer.

Operation SnipIt! Trap-Neuter/Spay-Return (TNR)
A teacher at the high school, your boss, the clerk at the grocery store—people all over the world care for outdoor cats every day. We have “outdoor” cats in Wakulla County and we want to help them. The cats we are talking about are “feral” cats. Feral cats are domestic cats. Like pet cats. The difference is that feral cats have had little or no contact with humans, and so they are fearful of us and cannot be adopted. They have a home—the outdoors.
And, there is a simple way we can help them: Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). This program ends reproduction, stabilizes feral cat populations, and improves individual cats’ lives. The behaviors and stresses associated with mating— pregnancy, yowling, and fighting--stop.

What is TNR?
- Trap: Humanely trap all of the cats in a colony (a group of cats living outdoors together).
- Neuter: Take the cats in their traps to a veterinarian or clinic to be neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (a universal symbol indicating they have been neutered).
- Return: Return the cats to their original outdoor home.
