Mission Statement
Operation Hood Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that educates on why trap-neuter-return (TNR) is the most effective and humane way to help with the overpopulation of community cats. We have established a safe haven for community cats that were rescued from Hood Drive in 2016 that we refer to as "The Fence". These cats will live out their days being loved and cared for daily.
Operation Hood is dedicated to the care and well-being of the cats that reside at “The Fence” and educating the public on the need to spay/neuter pets, the prevention of animal cruelty, responsible pet ownership, and actively encouraging TNR in the community. Operation Hood Inc. continues to provide a safe haven for the cats that reside at “The Fence.”

One Journey Ends, Another Begins
Celebrating 9 Years of Compassion and Commitment
January 2025
On January 2, 2021, Operation Hood proudly celebrated its 5th anniversary, a major milestone in our journey that began on Hood Drive. Now, four years later, we are honored to be celebrating nine years of advocacy, rescue, education, and unwavering dedication to the cats we serve.
As many of you know, the situation we faced in 2016 was an enormous undertaking. With the help of dedicated volunteers, overwhelming support from our community, and the cooperation of the landowner, we successfully trapped and relocated hundreds of cats from Hood Drive to a safe, undisclosed location now known as "The Fence."
The Fence is lovingly maintained by a team of volunteers who provide daily food, care, and upkeep for the cats who once faced unimaginable hardship. These cats are now thriving in a peaceful, protected environment—and they continue to be the heart of our mission. We remain steadfast in our promise to ensure they are cared for and loved every single day.
A New Chapter in Our Mission
As we closed the chapter on the Hood Drive colony, many asked, “What’s next for Operation Hood?”
Since 2018, we’ve expanded our work to focus on community outreach, TNR education, and hands-on support for local residents and shelters. We've met countless heroes along the way—individuals who give their time, hearts, and resources to help community cats live safer, healthier lives.
Due to an overwhelming number of TNR assistance requests, as of August 2024, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily pause accepting new TNR cases. We simply do not have the resources to respond to them all. However, we’re still here to help—we are happy to share TNR strategies, tools, and resources with anyone looking to make a difference in their own community.
Nine Years Strong… and Still Growing
January 2025 marks our 9th anniversary—yes, 9 years! We are a small, but mighty group of passionate individuals, united by the belief that every life matters and that compassion can change communities. What began as an emergency response to a desperate situation has grown into a sustained effort to create a better world for feral and community cats.
Life is good.
Because of YOU.
Thank you for standing beside us, supporting our mission, and believing in the power of grassroots rescue. We truly couldn’t do this without you.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Operation Hood Team
