CATNIP (Care Advocacy and Treatment of Neglected and Indigent Pets) Foundation at Big Sky Ranch Big Sky Ranch/CATNIP Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal welfare organization based in Folsom, Louisiana. We provide valuable programs as alternatives to euthanasia to lower the number of animals entering shelters and the ones being killed there. Our mission is "changing the ways we think and feel about living with and caring for animals". Our vision is to create a no-kill, no-shelter community, by increasing community consciousness for the well-being of people, animals, and the planet. We work without agenda, seeking to improve the lives of animals and people through education, cooperation and collaboration. In any given month, we have well over 300 animals in our care. Most are cats and most of those have come from situations where they have been abused, neglected or just kept in poor conditions. We serve multiple parishes, most of which or rural and underserved, and many with no municipal shelter. Even the parishes where there are municipal shelters, they stay beyond capacity and live outcome rates are very low. The devastating Louisiana flood of 2016 catapulted our mission forward as we rushed in to help as first responders, rescuing, saving, and ultimately rehoming hundreds of animals, and for more than a year afterward, continued to provide much needed services, such as spay/neuter, vaccinations and flea meds to these poverty stricken and now devastated communities. A short year later, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, stretched our mission and capacity again, as once again we responded to the disaster, and ultimately rescued and re-homed hundreds more animals, again, mostly cats. Again, this year, we were called into action to assist with the devastation of Hurricane Michael and the animals that were left behind, displaced, and injured. We are still working tirelessly in this region, all while continuing TNR, Spay/Neuter and adoption efforts in this region.!These are challenges that put extraordinary stress on our resources, but ones that provided invaluable opportunity to learn how to maximize every resource we have. Year over year, we double our impact. We create and embrace new and innovative programs as alternatives to shelter intake and have proudly increased live outcomes in this region with both aggressive spay/neuter and shelter diversion.
