Operation Catnip
Operation Catnip Stillwater is an OSU Foundations Organization serving the community of Stillwater, OK. Their purpose is to spay and neuter feral/community cats that roam our city. Every year thousands of cats are killed at shelters due to overcrowding or because they are not adoptable (not socialized to humans). Operation Catnip Stillwater plans to spay/neuter cats per clinic. The clinics are held one Sunday each month of the school year. How can you help? You can help trap cats with our trapping team, work at the trap depot, or work the clinics!

The Trap Depot collects and rents out traps for Operation Catnip (a Trap-Neuter-Return program at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital). Since the depot includes a system for inventory and requires you to use some technology, Operation Catnip likes to train each volunteer. The Trap Depot also organizes Trapping Teams that go out into the community and trap community/unowned cats to be spayed/neutered at the OCS clinics.
Operation Catnip Clinics occur one Sunday each month at OSU-CVHS. OCS spays/neuters over 100 community cats in one day. Around 100 volunteers help with every clinic. Pre-Vet volunteers can help in recovery, central sterilization, cage sterilization, gender sorting, preoperative duties, and various other activities. Students will be exposed to surgery and new volunteers can get a personal tour of the teaching hospital while also meeting several professors, OSU-CVHS alum, and Vet students. Stay tuned on our website under “volunteer” for the link to sign up
