For The Community

Guidance caring for communities of feral and stray cats

Feral cats are not used to people so don’t attempt to approach or pet them. Stray cats may have been someone’s pet, but will need time to become familiar with a care taker. Provide dry and wet food and water at the same time every day.

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 16, 2022
LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER FOR OWNED CATS IS SUSPENDED DUE TO LACK OF VETERINARY AVAILABILITY

Discounted cost for spay/neuter and vaccinations

Feral and community cats, as well as pets, need to be spayed or neutered. Contact Operation CatSnip for information on St. Lucie County’s free TNVR programs for unowned community cats.cat hiding behind vase group of cats eating group of cats eating

For the Cats

Direction assisting mother cats and kittens

Discovering a mom and her kittens during Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) can be an adorable yet challenging experience (mostly adorable). To properly handle a mom and her kittens, there are a lot of factors to consider. Should you leave mom with her kittens? Are the kittens old enough to separate from mom? What if you find kittens without mom? How can you safely trap a family? See Alley Cat Allies for more information through this link: www.alleycat.org

Assisting with trapping

Operation CatSnip volunteers have experience trapping cats in humane traps.

Foster Care

Operation CatsSnip provides foster care at private homes and coordinates showing cats and kittens for adoption.
