Special Committees 2026 Thank you for your interest in joining a committee to support Operation Catnip! You do not need to be a current Clinic volunteer to join a committee. Please be patient as we form these committees over the next few months. (As of June 2026)

This is why we have the best volunteers! Read below from a volunteer application submitted this week when asked why she wants to volunteer with Operation Catnip.

"That reality is something I carry with me — the knowledge that millions of cats are born into lives on the streets, facing illness, injury, and hardship, with little chance of ever knowing the safety and comfort of a family. Spay and neuter is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent that suffering before it begins. Every surgery performed means fewer cats born into circumstances they did not choose and cannot escape. To me, this work is not just medical — it is deeply humane. My love for cats is at the heart of everything I do in this field. They are resilient, complex, and deserving of care and advocacy, whether they are a beloved house cat or a feral cat living in a colony. Volunteering with Operation Catnip is an opportunity for me to put that love into action on a larger scale, to be part of a community of people who share the same commitment to making a meaningful difference. I am eager to expand my experience beyond the clinic, contribute my skills, and help give these cats a better chance at a healthier life."

Ashley, we couldn't agree more.
