Happy Hug Your Cat Day everyone!! Give lots of hugs to your pets on this extra special holiday (:

Feral cats aren’t usually big on hugs (who would have guessed? 🤷‍♀️), but if you’d like to give these sweet babies a metaphorical one, our Hug Your Cat Day fundraiser raffle is going to end this evening, and they would really appreciate your donation!! These two kitties were spayed/neutered this week and are currently recovering in our post-op care.

We’re still $75 away from our goal for this raffle, and so far we only have 14 names entered, so your chances to win are quite good! Soooo if you’d like to potentially win a fun prize and help us keep doing this important work, details for participating are below:

Hey everyone! Did you know that June 4th is National Hug Your Cat Day?! 🐈 🤗

To everyone whose cat allows that sort of thing - I hope you’ll give them a big hug from the Operation Catnip team (:

Normally the feral cats we work with aren’t big on hugs, so we’ve decided to celebrate with a fundraising raffle to help raise money for their vet care instead! Yay!

Here’s the deets:

🎟️ Tickets: $10 each OR 3 for $25
📅 Purchase: Between May 26th and June 4th
🐈‍⬛ Draw: June 4th @8 PM
💸 E-transfer: [email protected]
- Please include your name + "raffle" in the description when you send the e-transfer!

A little twist for this raffle: all three prizes are valued at around $200, so instead of assigning prizes ahead of time, winners will get to choose! 👀
The first name drawn gets first pick, the second name drawn gets second pick, and the final winner will receive the remaining prize.

Good luck and thanks for celebrating this holiday with us!

Maddy arrived with significant matting, so today she enjoyed a much-needed spa day and a gentle summer shave to help her feel more comfortable. She may look a little unsure in her after photo, but rest assured she is safe, cared for, and settling in well.

Already there’s a big difference, less discomfort, a lighter coat, and the start of a much happier, more comfortable chapter for this sweet girl 💛

Not all of our visitors have whiskers 😅🐦
While trapping today, this little bird decided the bait looked too tempting to pass up and helped itself right out of the drop trap!
A few minutes later, we did successfully trap 1 kitty for TNR but this little snack thief definitely stole the spotlight first. 😂❤️
