Volunteered at the Operation catnip project at the University of Florida and was blown away by the efforts there to stop the needless killing of stray and feral cats. On January 23 2011 from 7am til 1:30 we spayed and neutered 214 cats. Since the program began here in 1998, it is estimated that 30,ooo cats have passed through the doors of catnip to be surgically sterilized. This was one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences I have ever been involved in.
