Catsnip Etc Catsnip Etc offers: TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return), Barn Cat Adoptions, Adoption Program Catsnip Etc works to better the lives of all cats that enter our program.

Our motto is One at a time, Leave none behind. We have 3 programs in place to assist cats: TNR, Barn Relocation and Adoption. TNR is a comprehensive and humane management plan to reduce the free-roaming cat population in the long term. These cats are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated, ear-tipped and sterilized by a licensed veterinarian. Catsnip Etc knows how important your free-roaming cat colony is. We are dedicated to helping you care for your colony through education and trapping/transporting assistance. We use special traps designed to humanely trap the cat, then we immediately cover the cage to help reduce their stress level while traveling to and from the vet. Our trained volunteers understand and know what it takes to help the caretakers and their colonies. Barn Relocation Program- occasionally while doing TNR we come across feral cats in unsafe situations that cannot be returned to their area after being fixed. Our Barn Relocation Program temporarily houses the feral cats until a permanent barn or warehouse home can be found. There is no charge to adopt the spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped barn cats. Catsnip Etc also provides all necessary equipment needed for the acclimation process. Adoption Program-While doing TNR we come across friendly cats and kittens that would prefer indoor only homes. These cats enter our adoption program. We have an adoption room located inside Pet Supplies Plus in Goshen and foster homes to keep these cats until adopted. Our adoption fee is $80. The cats are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, tested for leukemia and fiv, and microchipped.

Meet Maggie!

This cute girl has been part of a feral colony at least 10 years and is the most trap savvy cat ever!! We can’t even imagine how many kittens she has had in 10 years!! After all this time, Julie and Joel were able to trap her!! And at 10 years old she still had kittens (older) by her side!! This momma has no idea how much better her life is going to be! Finally she can relax and only worry about herself.

This is what TNR is all about!

We had a busy, exciting day yesterday and would not have made it through without our amazing volunteers!!

First, we had a team head to Rescue Pack near Chicago to pick up our discounted skids of Purina Kitten Chow and Chewy items! Thank you to everyone that donated for us to go!

Second, Staci applied for a grant a few months ago to get medical cages to help with intake and sick kitties and we were selected!! Yesterday was assembly day for the cages. We could not be more excited! These cages have been on our wishlist for years!

Third, we can’t forget the amazing volunteers that gave up their morning to clean up after the kitties at Pet Supplies Plus, the Catsnip House and the Haven! Along with kitty chores they worked on cleaning carriers and doing sooooo much laundry!

And to end the perfect day Gomez was adopted! He is a shy little guy and we are so excited he found the perfect home!!

Sorry for the late update but Helen did amazing and is headed home!!! The vet said her surgeries went great! She will have to wear an E collar since she has no fear!! I’m not sure who looks happier in that picture, Helen or Chay ❤️

If you have been to Catsnip or follow our page you have met Helen!

This little girl was found crawling down the road earlier this year with her eyes matted shut. The finder assumed she was a bottle baby because she only weighed 6 ounces (a newborn kitty typically weighs 3-4 ounces) but once she got to Catsnip we found she had teeth and was at least 6 weeks old! Besides her small size, both of her eyes had already ruptured and would need removed.

What followed was weeks of adjusting meds, syringe feeding, fluids, and trying to find food she could eat. Her face was so inflamed from her swollen eyes that she couldn’t smell her food so she didn’t want to eat it.

Through all of this Helen was a rockstar. She had more will to live than any cat we have ever met. Over and over she surprised us with her ability to adapt. She spent time at 4 different houses so she was never alone and in each and every house she knew where everything was located. And when you put her somewhere new, her nose went to the ground and you could see her mapping things out in her head. If she was up on the couch or a cat tree and didn’t know how far away the ground was, she would turn and scoot down butt first until she reached where she needed to be. Over and over people asked us if we were sure she couldn’t see because of how well she handled everything.

Today Helen is at the vet to get spayed and have the infected leftover tissue in her eyes cleaned out and then her eyes sewn shut so they will remain healthy. We need lots of good thoughts for her and her foster mom Chay today that everything goes smoothly. (Probably more so for Chay than Helen 😉)

We had a couple of people say they would like to donate towards Helen’s surgery today. We will post our donation links here!

Here at Catsnip Etc, we do not have a Halloween event so every year we went to Lippert plant 210's trunk or treat. Dressing up the cargo van, passing out candy and seeing all of the kids in their costumes. This made us smile as much as the kids! This year Lippert plant 210 has a different plan. Instead of making kids smile, they are going to try to make people of all ages p*e their pants! Please join us in supporting this new adventure they are going on. A little bit of fun, a little bit of fright, all Halloween.

Thank you to everyone that has donated and shared our post!!!! We raised enough to go Saturday to get the kitties food!!!!

Update #2: We only need $65 to meet our goal!!

Update: We have raised $144 towards the $500 needed to get a whole skid of Purina kitten chow and a chewy skid of random goodies!

The $500 also covers gas and tolls to go get the food. Buying just the same Purina kitten chow at the store would cost over $2200, and in rescue we need to save money wherever we can!! Our kitties are depending on us!

Happy Sunday!!

Mabel doesn’t have a care in the world. She doesn’t know we just got some exciting news!

If we can raise $500 we can go next Saturday and get $2210 worth of Purina kitten chow and a Chewy skid for $372 plus gas and tolls!
That’s such a huge savings when every dollar counts in the rescue world!!

It was hide and seek in the dark tonight after Mama brought out 3 kittens from hiding that we had been trying to rescue!

None of them are very happy, but after an hour we caught all of them, even Mama, because taking the kittens and not mom makes zero sense!! She would be pregnant with another litter right away.

It’s time for all 4 of them to learn how easy life can be!

And yes, one of them was actually hiding in the motorcycle!!

🐾 Today is National Feral Cat Day. Every cat deserves to matter. 🐈‍⬛

Behind every watchful pair of eyes is a life worth protecting. A cat who feels hunger, seeks shelter, and deserves compassion, even if they never let us close enough to touch them.

At Catsnip Etc., we are committed to improving the quality of life for free-roaming cats and kittens by promoting community awareness and education. We believe understanding inspires compassion, and compassion becomes powerful when we put it into action.

Feral cats are part of our communities. Their lives have value. By learning about their needs and supporting humane care, we can give these often-overlooked cats a community that looks out for them.

Every spay and neuter is a step toward preventing more kittens from being born into hardship. Every person who speaks up, lends a hand, or shares our mission helps that work reach another cat.

🤜🏼🤛🏼 Be part of our movement. Volunteer. Donate. Educate. Share this post. Help us reach the next cat waiting for someone to care.

We move forward with a promise:
spay and neuter. One at a time. None left behind. 🐾

We would love to see pictures of your feral kitties!! Post them below!!
