What if caregivers are unable to bring their cats to the monthly clinics?
Elderly caregivers and those with disabilities can contact OC for assistance in trapping and transporting their colonies to a clinic. Also, through a program dubbed OC Outreach, caregivers can bring stray and feral cats to local veterinary clinics to be sterilized, vaccinated, and eartipped. Caregivers pay $25 at the time of this veterinary visit, and the clinic bills Operation Catnip for the balance. To participate in this program, caregivers make appointments directly with the participating veterinary clinics. The clinics provide the humane traps in which the cats are trapped and transported.
