Cat Nip operation is AWESOME, it is a fantastic service that they provide and don’t hassle you for $$$. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO DONATES THEY TIME AND SERVICE , from the office staff to the doctores, students , and the people who get you in and out
Their model of trap, neuter, release is an outstanding free service to reduce the population of community cats.
Operation Catnip is a great program however the director Audrey Garrison has NO empathy for me a veteran , my service dog and my HOME which is being damaged by these cats.It can be a successful program if the people who have all these cats get them ALL fixed but when you only do a few and the cats multiply are sick and damaging many homes it has failed Ms.Garrison thinks it is ok threatening me with arrest if I remove the cats that clawed me and my service dog.I have an IV Port.She told me she was coming in two to three weeks to catch and fix all these animals to many to count and will return them to our neighborhood despite many neighbors objections.Let me be clear that I love animals but I love my home too!!!My dog cannot play freely in his own yard which smells like cat urine .If these people want all these cats let them protect them and us who do not want them on our property and put up a cat fence .I am now the bad person receiving threats for what protecting MY home and MY dog .I asked them if they would like to pay for cat Deterants but no response.
I cannot believe there is only one review of this incredible effort, that has spayed and neutered over 45,000 stray and feral cats in Alachua County. My husband and I have been Catnip volunteers for fifteen years, and every single time we do it, I am impressed by the sheer number of volunteers that it takes to make this happen. This community should be extremely grateful to Dr. Julia Levy and to UF, for developing this program, which is a model for trap/neuter/release all around the world.
