​IMPORTANT NOTICE - DUE TO A HIGH VOLUME OF TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) REQUESTS THAT WE CURRENTLY ARE WORKING ON, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY NEW TNR REQUESTS AT THIS TIME.  WE WILL UPDATE OUR WEBSITE ONCE WE ARE ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW REQUESTS. THANK YOU.

 Operation Hood is a TNR (trap-neuter-return) non profit organization. TNR is a humane approach to addressing community cat populations.  TNR improves the lives of cats and addresses community concerns about overpopulation and stops the breeding cycle. Most importantly, TNR improves the co-existence between outdoor cats and humans in our shared environment.

Please note: We do not relocate cats and do not have the resources to take additional cats or kittens.
 Operation Hood  appreciates the support and generosity of our followers. We are thankful to be part of such an amazing community that enables us to help community cats. This video shows one of our kitties Toretto who lives at "The Fence" a safe haven created for the kitties who were relocated from Hood Drive in 2016. Toretto is a ham when it comes to attention. He loves to follow us around as we care for the kitty's daily just to watch and be part of the teamwork! During the summer he can be found playing in the water bowls or chasing a stream of water from a bowl that has been overfilled! Silly Toretto we sure do love you and your friends! Check out our Wishlist link below if you would like to donate! Thank you! 
One of our trappers got this little one while working on a TNR Project. Sadly, this is the case for many kittens born in the wild due to female cats that are left un-spayed. It is not the best life for kittens who come into the world defenseless and are left to deal with the elements of the weather, etc.  Your support enables us to save lives like this little one! Thank you for your support and kindness and joining us on this amazing journey in making a difference in the lives of community cats! #communitycatsFXBG 

WHO WE ARE

​Operation Hood is a non-profit all volunteer organization that works with the community to help control the overpopulation of community cats through our TNR program.  We depend on community support for funding to assist with the TNR costs and veterinary care of the cats who were previously rescued from Hood Drive, and currently reside within a safe haven area we refer to as “The Fence."

With on going efforts to assist the community with TNR we appreciate any and ALL help given working on TNR efforts that impact and make a difference not only in the lives of the cats but also in our community.  Working together we can help control the over population and needless litters of kittens born outdoors that face uncertainties that outdoor life may bring. These are just a few videos of releases from TNR projects that individuals  just like you have taken a part in!  Together we can do more and make an impact!
Join us on our journey to help make a difference in the lives of community cats! 

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is only method proven to be humane and effective at controlling community cat population growth.

HOW TO HELP

You can be part of the mission to save community cats and provide them with a loving environment, medical care and the necessities for a thriving life.

THE CATS WE HELP

community ∙ the "Fence" safe haven ∙ risk of euthanasia

Operation Hood has receieved an influx of requests for various TNR (Trap, Neuter, RETURN) projects. We often receive requests that ask us to remove cats from an area and relocate them, or if we can take them in at the Fence. The Fence was built and intended for the cats that were relocated from Hood Drive in 2016. We are aware there are circumstances in which a cat cannot be returned to the area it was trapped due to various reasons but unfortunatly we do not have the resources to take in addtional cats.

​We currently are working on a high number of TNR Requests and are unable to take on additional requests at this time. Please check back and we will update our site once we can assist with additional requests. Thank you.
