So, what do SNIC girls do for fun in their spare time? Foster baby animals! All Creatures Veterinary Hospital, in Mountain Home, has received an influx of displaced babies. They are bottle feeding out their eyes! So, Alisa and Elise are now bottle feeding two opossums, three birds, and nine bunnies!

SNIC would like to congratulate Catie Mourer on an incredible milestone.

As of today, Catie has helped her 1,000th feral cat.

Long before SNIC became a nonprofit, Catie was out there doing the hard work, often spending her own money to help these animals. When SNIC became a nonprofit in 2024, we were proud to join forces with Catie and her Independence County TNR program.

This work matters. Every cat trapped, spayed or neutered, and returned means fewer unwanted litters, healthier colonies, and a better community for both animals and people. Catie has even found homes for hundreds of the "less" feral cats or kittens.

If you would like to send Catie a thank you, please consider donating to SNIC so we can keep this program going.

We hope you are noticing the hard work being done in Independence County.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS, Catie. What an amazing accomplishment.

Please text Catie at that number when you need assistance with feral cats. The old number will no longer be utilized or answered.

Good morning!

Just a reminder. We created this nonprofit to serve those who are unable, for whatever reason, to have their animals spayed and/or neutered. This is NOT a space for someone who can afford veterinarian services to get a "sweet deal".

SNIC and Independence County TNR are not here to undercut our local veterinarians. We are here to serve those who wouldn't be able to use a local veterinarian. So, that is why we require a W2 or some statement form. If you happen to make more than our average Independence County citizens, then reach out via DM and let us know why you still need our services. We are open to discussion.

We do assist with feral cats regardless of income. And, we will start teaching others how to trap the feral cats in your vicinity as we are just the "Three Amigos!".

Again, thank you to all who have used our services, all those waiting to use our services, and all those who continue to donate and ensure the success of our nonprofit!

STOP LITTERING! Spay and Neuter

So, the feral and nonferal sides of SNIC are making plans to undertake a LARGE feral cat trapping operation. There are approximately 250 cats that need to be trapped. This is NO FAULT of where they are as people have been seen driving by and dumping their animals off!!

I'm curious as to other entities that might have taken on a project like this and how it was accomplished. We'd love some insight!

We will definitely need some people power, donations, etc.

BOBCAT FEVER in Arkansas Cats: What SNIC and All Creatures Veterinary Hospital Want You to Know

Bobcat fever is here in Arkansas, and cat owners need to know what to watch for and how to prevent it. Our own TNR expert, Catie, has already had two community cats die from this disease, so this is very real for our SNIC family.

Bobcat fever (also called cytauxzoonosis) is a deadly tick-borne disease that affects domestic cats. It is carried by wild bobcats and spread when an infected tick (often the Lone Star tick) bites your cat. There is no vaccine, and without fast treatment, it can be fatal in just a few days.

Key signs to watch for:
- Sudden loss of energy or hiding more than usual
- Not wanting to eat or drink
- High fever
- Pale or yellow gums, yellowing of eyes or skin (jaundice)
- Fast breathing, weakness, or just “not acting right”

If you see any of these signs, especially during tick season, treat it as an emergency and call your vet immediately. Early treatment is the only chance for survival.

How it’s transmitted:
- Bobcats act as natural carriers of the parasite.
- A tick feeds on an infected bobcat, then bites a domestic cat and passes on the infection.
- Cats do *not* give bobcat fever directly to each other; it’s all through tick bites.

How to help prevent bobcat fever:
- Keep cats indoors as much as possible, especially in wooded or rural areas.
- Use year-round, vet-recommended tick prevention for all cats (and dogs in the home).
- Check your cats daily for ticks, especially March–September.
- Keep grass mowed, clear brush/leaf litter, and treat high-risk outdoor areas for ticks.

At Spay Neuter Impact Coalition (SNIC), we want Arkansas cat owners to be informed and prepared. Please share this post to help spread awareness—knowing the signs, using strong tick prevention, and acting quickly can truly save a cat’s life.

All Creatures Veterinary Hospital is a 24 hour, seven days a week clinic and hospital. AND, it's a BEAUTIFUL hour and 30 minute drive from here with the BEST staff! Call 8704255175
