Homeless Kitty Pictured Above

Homeless Kitty, an 11 lb stray cat from Atlanta, is Project CatSnip's 10,000 spay-neuter. This friendly, docile cat was found at the doorstep of caretaker and rescuer Holly White. Holly used her own money to neuter Homeless Kitty out of compassion for homeless cats and her desire to reduce the overpopulation problem. Homeless Kitty is about a year old and has already fathered two litters, according to Holly. He is a friendly cat that someone raised as a kitten then abandoned. I couldn't afford to have him neutered if it were not for Project CatSnip's low cost. Neutered at CatSnip’s Sandy Springs Petco location, Homeless Kitty is now less prone to cat fights. These fights are part of the mating ritual and often lead to deadly infections and diseases such as feline AIDs.

Holly is looking to change the name of Homeless Kitty to Have-a-Home Kitty. If you are looking to adopt Homeless Kitty, please call Project CatSnip at 770 455-7077. Ms. White will receive a $50 gift certificate from Petco - Where the Pets Go. 

Project CatSnip, a program of the Atlanta Animal Alliance, Inc., launched its non-profit public service program in December of 2002. Since then, CatSnip has grown to become the leading provider of feline spay-neuters in the south and one of the top 10 spay-neuter clinics in the United States . CatSnip provides low-cost spay-neuter service to over 20 metro-Atlanta counties to combat the cat overpopulation problem.

 “We make feline spay-neuter affordable and accessible,” says Bob Christiansen, co-founder of the program, “The vast majority of our clients could not have their cats sterilized if CatSnip were not available. We have thousands of testimonials from cat lovers who whole-heartily thank us for providing this service. The vast majority of cats we see have never been to a veterinarian and would never be spayed or neutered without our public service program.”

Dr Amy Orlin, a licensed veterinarian of 15-years, co-founded the CatSnip program and directs all medical activities. She was honored by the Greater Atlanta Veterinary Medical Society as Distinguished Veterinarian of the Year in 2002 for her work in animal welfare. Dr. Orlin has developed CatSnip’s surgical procedures in consultation with leading experts from around the country. “Low cost does not mean low quality,” claims Dr Orlin. She is assisted by a top-notch, caring staff.

The CatSnip fee is $45 for a male and $70 for a female. The price includes a FREE office visit, veterinary exam and pain relief. Cats are admitted at 7:30 AM and are discharged in the late afternoon. Surgeries are performed in a $150,000 vehicle that is custom designed to include modern medical equipment. Appointments are necessary. For an appointment call 770 455-7077 or visit www.projectcatsnip.com

CatSnip is a public service, animal welfare program. Most of the cats seen are those that live outdoors exclusively or that are owned by people experiencing financial hardship. Most of these cats are intact and are in a constant state of reproduction. These forgotten felines would not have access to sterilization surgery if it were not for the affordability of the Project CatSnip service.
