Thank you for visiting CatSNIP's website! It is CatSNIP's goal, that through outreach, awareness raising, and targeted sterilization initiatives, Michigan will be an informed, responsible and compassionate society in which the number of felines being born can be absorbed into loving homes, and animal shelters no longer have healthy cats or kittens to euthanize. The CatSNIP name is descriptive of its purpose and denotes its action-oriented approach. CatSNIP will: Spay (female). Neuter (male). Immunize (all). Prevent (overpopulation/euthanasia).
Spay - Neuter - Immunize - Prevent
Thousands of healthy cats and kittens are put to death every year, merely because there aren’t enough homes to absorb them.
According to the Michigan Department of Agriculture's Shelter 2007 Activity Survey, over 91,000 cats and kittens are put to death in Michigan animal shelters every year. The solution is a simple one: every feline over 4 months of age must be sterilized. Were this to occur, the number of kittens born each year would be dramatically reduced, animal shelter overcrowding would drop, and euthanasia rates would also decline significantly.
To address these tragic euthanasia statistics, felines must be sterilized; plain and simple.Acknowledging that animal rescue efforts do provide emergency and short-term benefits, and that adoption efforts indeed spare some cats and kittens from euthanasia, these are not objectives of CatSNIP.CatSNIP does not provide palliative or stopgap measures. Rather, CatSNIP utilizes a business-like approach: get to the cause of the problem and eliminate it. You can read CatSNIP'sVision, Mission and Goals here.
