2 cats can become 6 very quickly if the cats aren't spayed & neutered!!

Please do NOT wait until you have a colony of 5, 10, or 15+ cats to start trapping, spaying/neutering, and vaccinating.

Cats can get pregnant as early as 4 months of age. 😳

It is so much easier and less expensive to trap, fix, and feed 1 or 2 cats!

Get spay/neuter appointments scheduled when you see that FIRST free-roaming community cat in your area!

Teamwork makes the dream work, and we couldn’t take care of any cats and kittens without your support. Arriving home after placing a cat into a safe, savvy and loving foster home to a porch full of donations replenished our flagging spirits yesterday!! Thank you to our community for bolstering us with your help and support.

Even in abundance, this delivery will be depleted in a week 😫. The need is currently absolutely relentless. We ALWAYS need kitten wet food as momma cats need to eat higher caloric density food in order to make nutrient rich milk for the kittens! We also sometimes get in older, or sicker cats who benefit from kitten wet food!

We are also completely out of all kinds of litter; some was delivered yesterday that is already distributed out 🤪😵‍💫😣.

Another 50 cats getting spayed/neutered/vaxxed and tested today!! It’s been a tough kitten season and we have seen a lot of suffering and loss that could have been prevented!! Please spay and neuter your pets. Every kitten born in a home pulls resources away from the cats and kittens literally dying outside.

Our registration for our October van will begin mid-September. In the meantime Animal Protective Foundation in Schenectady has low cost spay/neuter appointments throughout the month.

🐅🐅Loving Patricia deserves forever!!

Patricia is a young tiger estimated 1.5 years who LOVES people. She is the whole package, playful and also chill. Her markings are beautiful and distinct, and she has the sweetest little paws and an elfy face. Patricia had a rough start and is very wary of other cats and dogs so in her ideal home she could be the queen of her domain!

Patricia has been overlooked for way too long, and she is currently fostered in a home with other cats and dogs so she doesn’t get the attention she craves.

FIV/FELV negative, spayed and vaxxed! Patricia is the antidote to loneliness 😻😻😻

Many people have responded to our story of the cats in Tupperware and boxes abandoned on the street for trash pick up. If that story moves you but you cannot foster, volunteer or donate to us, we ask that you take a stand against animal cruelty in any way that you can.

Bozo's story is horrific and heartbreaking. Bozo was dearly loved by his people. This friendly guy was abducted, abused, and tortured. He did not survive. Bozo's family started the Bozo Run to raise awareness about animal abuse and how it's happening closer to you than you think.

Join us for the 19th Annual Bozo Run on Saturday, September 13th, 2025, as we come together to raise awareness about animal abuse and honor the memory of Bozo the cat. Each year a local non-profit rescue group is chosen to receive the monies raised during this event.

Kitten Angels is honored to have been chosen as the recipient for this year's Bozo Run.

The day kicks off with sign-up and line-up at 11:00 AM at the Plaza Diner, with bikes rolling out at 12:00 PM. The ride will conclude at the Federation of Polish Sportsmen, where attendees will enjoy live music by Acoustic Rye and DJ Terry, delicious food, and raffles.

You don’t have to ride to be part of the cause—everyone is welcome to join us at approximately 2:00 PM at the Federation of Polish Sportsmen in Hudson, NY to support the event, enjoy the entertainment, and help raise funds for local non-profit rescue groups.

Donation: $20.00 per person.

Update: These sweet beans are thriving in a safe, secure foster home where they have their own room!

Last week one of our rescuers stumbled upon a large Tupperware container and a cardboard box taped shut on the curb. A sixth sense told him to open the boxes and inside the Tupperware was two mama cats, and inside the box was six kittens. Two of the kittens were so young that their umbilical cords were still attached.

These two mamas are likely sisters, and are BONDED AND SCARED. At the moment they seem stable but they are extremely protective of one another and of their kittens. They remain friendly with adult humans (shockingly as it was clearly an adult human who threw them away like garbage).

We are a foster based rescue in the midst of an overwhelming kitten season and all of our fosters are already doubled and tripled up. We are DESPERATE for a gentle, understanding landing for this group, ideally a home without other animals or children but possibly just a very secure isolated foster space for these babies to grow and these moms to decompress. They must all remain together.

Please let us know if you can help be part of the effort to care for this group. We want to be able to give them what they deserve; nothing but love and safety from here on out.

Please foster with us: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19VNipFZmgbFOPR9FIam0gh1n4YMEc91wkp2sfSn6g5E/editing

About Us

Operation Snip was started by former Troy City Council President, Lynn Kopka, in March of 2012. What began as a Trap-Neuter-Return program for feral cats living throughout Troy’s abandoned buildings and alleyways, it has morphed into providing loving homes to friendly cats & kittens also found on the streets.

Our adoptable cats are available through a number of cat adoption groups. If you wish to give a cat a forever home, many of our cats go to Whiskers in Albany and Noah’s Kingdom, or check the clinics at Healthy Pet Center, Petco and PetSmart. You can also send us a message if you’d like to adopt a cat featured on our page! There are so many wonderful cats looking for a home that you will certainly find just the right cat for you and your family.

We operate solely by donation and fundraisers. If you would like to donate:

Donations to Operation Snip can be made through the Washington Park Association of Troy, N.Y. Please write the checks payable to: “Friends of Washington Park.” You must write “Snip” in the memo.
