Snip & Tip - St Bernard TNR Working to solve the community cat crisis in St. Bernard Parish through TNR (trap-neuter-release). We also promote cat adoption and responsible pet ownership.

Snip & Tip - St Bernard TNR is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the cat overpopulation problem in the Parish. We accomplish this mission by spaying and neutering community cats. 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.

We hear it every week:

We understand.
Most people donโ€™t realize what goes into TNVR they just think it should be โ€œfreeโ€ and that someone else can handle it.

But hereโ€™s the truth:
That โ€œfreeโ€ service youโ€™re asking for?
๐—œ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—น๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ.

Every trap, every can of food, every drop of gas costs someone. ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ๐™จ, ๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™›๐™š๐™š๐™จ, ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฅ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ง, ๐™™๐™š๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™š๐™ง, ๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™–, ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ค๐™™, ๐™œ๐™–๐™จ, ๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ฃ ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ฎ ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™™๐™จ to line traps none of it appears out of thin air.

Each โ€œfreeโ€ TNVR job costs hundreds of dollars before we even count the ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™จ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™™๐™ง๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ, ๐™›๐™š๐™š๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ, ๐™˜๐™ก๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ, ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ, ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ก๐™š๐™–๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ.

And behind every โ€œfreeโ€ 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 isnโ€™t a hobby itโ€™s hard, messy, emotional, draining, real work.

โ€œFreeโ€ doesnโ€™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, โ€œ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜€,โ€ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ.

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

We have soooo very many places and people/trappers to Thank before the Drum Roll for the number we TNR'd in the month of October
Thank You Trap Dat Cat (Nita Hemster) we could never reach this number without your help. Paris Road Hospital Dr. Chris, Elizabeth Fay (GF we did it this month) The St. Bernard Animal Services namely Amanda Forde. Our trappers out in the community trapping cats night & day for the all important S/N. The support we receive from Deborah-Paul Strother . And of course there is our crew of Becky Rieker, Dennis Dauterive and myself (Barbara E. Meyer)
Now for the Drum Roll. Our number for October is 127 cats we fixed. Life will be so much better for them now.

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.
