Description
The CatSnip Fund, managed by the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, provides annual funding to support efforts that reduce cat overpopulation through low-cost spay/neuter initiatives and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. The fund’s goal is to address the root causes of cat overpopulation and improve the welfare of community and outdoor cats. CatSnip prioritizes sustainable projects led by local shelters, rescues, and municipalities, with decisions guided by a volunteer advisory board. The fund currently serves Grant, Green, Iowa, and Lafayette Counties, with plans to expand to additional counties as the fund grows.
