Snip & Tip is the lead agency in the St Bernard Community Cat Coalition dedicated to bringing the entire community together - nonprofits, government, the Shelter, community organizations, businesses and individuals. It will take us all to accomplish our goal of fixing every cat in the Parish in 5 years.

Well I booked for 32 cats we had 20 show up. Thank Goodness for our Trappers we had 2 separate big boys our trappers have been after for over a year now. And low & behold those boys decided now was the time to get snipped. We also have 2 other trapping sites that are the end of trapping cats there. And the best of it all for today NO Pregnant Cats. How we hate to do Spay/Terminations but it has to be done. If Mommy doesn't have a home 4/6/8 kittens have no chance of a home. Thank You Trappers, Dr. Chris, Elizabeth Fay.
And most of all Thank You Trap Dat Cat & Deborah-Paul Strother we all have mission and because of your monthly support we can do this mission. We so love Ted, Mark, Mary, Malynda, Dee, Marie, and a number of other ppl who showed up today. And of course our crew of Dennis Dauterive, Becky Rieker and myself Barbara E. Meyer. We were rocking and rolling today.

So this is a very late notice but my 32 appointments for Spay Neuter surgery tomorrow has turned into the number 23. If you need your cat be it boy or girl, fixed contact me ASAP. For those Juvile cats that have to be over 2 pounds. Thanks

UPDATE !!! 1 & 1 = 2.
Therefore 127 + 4 = 131
While looking over my spreadsheet that's exactly the number (4) I did not see before I posted the number we TNR'd. Our revised number for October 2025 is 131. Our best month to date. Snip & Tip St Bernard TNR Program is on a good roll for the Cats and Parish.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 “𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞” 𝐓𝐍𝐕𝐑

We hear it every week:
“Can someone come trap these cats?”
”𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘆? 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲. ”

We understand.
Most people don’t realize what goes into TNVR they just think it should be “free” and that someone else can handle it.

But here’s the truth:
That “free” service you’re asking for?
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

Every trap, every can of food, every drop of gas costs someone. 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙨, 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙨, 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧, 𝙙𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙖, 𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙, 𝙜𝙖𝙨, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙙𝙨 to line traps none of it appears out of thin air.

Each “free” TNVR job costs hundreds of dollars before we even count the 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜.

And behind every “free” service are real people.
Volunteers washing soiled traps in their driveways.
Loading and unloading scared ferals before sunrise.
Skipping dinners and losing sleep to make sure those cats get trapped, fixed, vaccinated, and safely returned.

This isn’t a hobby it’s hard, messy, emotional, draining, real work.

“Free” doesn’t mean easy. It means someone else is paying the price.
Through their time.
Through their gas tank.
Through their weekend.
Through their heart.

So next time someone says, “𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘀,” 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. Someone let it get to this point, and 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

If you can’t trap, donate 💰.
If you can’t donate, share 📣.
If you can’t share, educate 📖.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 “𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲” 𝗧𝗡𝗩𝗥 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆’𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Every cat matters. Every caretaker matters. Every dollar helps 🤟🏼🐈🪤.

Due to a Scheduling Conflict our Cat Coalition Meeting for November 15th has been cancelled. I will keep everyone posted as to the date of our next meeting. And a heads up to caretakers of colonies of cats the statement "I'm a Feeder and not a Trapper" in all reality you need to be BOTH. Trappers can't be Everywhere and you need to trap the cats you feed. When we show up the cats run off sometimes for days. Whereas they trust you for their daily care and you know what cat needs to be trapped. So be "A Feeder and A Trapper" Your Cat will LOVE you More if that's even possible!
Thank You

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. The best 21 cats are in surgery right now and life is about to do a big turn around for them. The worst time ? That wind was so bad this morning we nearly had to put an anchor on Becky Rieker to keep her grounded & she was COLD. However I had sooo much hairspray on my hair not one strand moved out of place !!!
WE DO IT FOR THE CATS. Please join us November 4th at the Parish Council Meeting 6pm.

Over the past two years, I have had folks ask me why I started this initiative. Well, it was because people were begging for help, on FaceBook, on multiple pages, on Nextdoor. The story was always the same. What started as one cat was now 30. A colony of 30 - 50 breeding cats is a disaster for everyone, and there were 0 resources in St Bernard Parish.

The other thing I have heard over and over for the past two years is that the explosive cat population was a Parish problem. There is a lot of anger that the Parish has not solved the problem. Well, we have a road map to fix the problem. TUESDAY NIGHT - NOVEMBER 4th is our opportunity to gain the commitment of the Parish Government to work to help fix the problem.

If you have done nothing else for us, we need you NOW. Time for the keyboard warriors to get out of their seats and DO SOMETHING REAL. Show up and support the St Bernard Community Cat Coalition.

If we cannot show the Parish Council on Tuesday Night that the community wants this coalition, we will have very little chance of success.

Big announcement!
The St Bernard Community Cat Coalition will be presenting at the Parish Council Meeting, Tuesday, November 4th, 6 pm. Please come.
