Protecting stray and feral cats and dogs and promoting neutering programmes overseas It respects life and does not endorse destruction of healthy animals.

SNIP International is a UK registered charity dedicated to improving standards of animal welfare around the world. In particular SNIP International promotes neutering programmes aimed at stray and feral animals. Over the last fifteen years we have donated specialist catching, trapping and holding equipment to animal welfare groups in almost 60 countries. We are also supporting training programmes
for vets and helpers. The emphasis is mainly on stray and feral cats, but we are also doing some work with dogs.
Excellent news!
This gives us hope that it can be achieved in other countries as well.

Ready for action 🐾🐾
KONJO Animal Charity shared with us their first catch!
That’s how it begins…. We wish them many many more! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Praising 💛
We promised to share with you our post weekend in
We enjoyed being able to relax after the fun but hectic conference and to swim in the sea (without opening hours from 10am to 6pm 😉). We went snorkeling and were lucky to observe plenty of colourful fish (i.e. pipefish & cuttlefish) and a large sea turtle! 🤎
We also enjoyed spotting and counting the feline population. You read it right: we ENJOYED it 😍😍😍 because
😻 17 out of 20 cats we spotted were so also ed (the 3 exceptions were all young male cats)
😻 even an owned cat (with a collar) was eartipped (owned free roaming non-sterilized cats is a source of stray cats so better address it by including it in the plan)
😻 the cats were overall in good condition
😻 the cats were friendly so people must be kind to them
😻 there were feeding stations and water for the cats.
So in that sense is an for a 🩵 We are sure that it’s a big plus for the
However, we are well aware that the ones that need to be thanked are the !
Bravo! 🙏💕
We hope that government and municipalities could be more supportive for these groups and take as a serious topic in their programme.
That applies also to many other countries whose economy depends on
We are more and more people who cannot go to places where we see animals suffering in misery.
If you know any other places where the cat and/or dog population is well managed, please let us know 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
A cat and a cat trap in action even though it goes so smoothly it looks almost practiced 😸 and the closing door doesn’t seem to bother the cat 😹 in general the cats panic and the trap needs to be covered immediately as it helps calm down the trapped cat.
We advocate for eartipping as it is a very easy way to know which cats have already been spayed/neutered and avoids having to put them in vain through the stress of being trapped and sometimes even anaesthised (and in the worst case opened up!) only to find out they were already fixed.
We will share with you some pictures of cats in that we visited just after the conference on
But here some facts by Alley Cat Allies.
An eartip is the universal sign that a cat has been spayed or neutered through a Trap-Neuter-Return ( ) program! No other method is as effective.

Equipment donations at
SNIP International (SNIPi) allocated humane catching and holding equipment to animal welfare groups attending the conference. The equipment was donated by Cats Protection, MDC Exports Ltd and SNIPi.
(Some pictures may be missing as taken with another camera. Sorry!)
The groups who have received equipment must send a report and pictures to SNIPi.
Thank you for all you do for animals ! 🩷🙏🐾
ended only yesterday and the first catch has been reported!! 🩷
Our brand new trap generously donated by SNIP International was used today to trap little boy who was dropped at the vets for neutering. We are so thankful for the support.
This little one only needs 16.00 euro to cover the remaining. bill for treatment against fleas and internal parasites.
If you can be part of his sponsorship and you have PayPal pls use [email protected] or Revolut ( contact us for details) . No amount is too small. We are thinking of naming him . What do you think ? 🖤🐈⬛
is on and the SNIPi team is ready together with MDC Exports Ltd and Cats Protection!
We will be pleased to donate humane catching and holding equipment for the animal rescue groups attending the conference.
SNIP International is sponsoring and in this video, you can see how it goes - cats are travelling in safe, covered cages while taken from their caretakers to the clinic and back on the SNIPi-sponsored cat taxi.
It’s been a pleasure to follow this project emerge and grow despite all the socioeconomic, political and sanitary difficulties over the recent years.

Introducing Dogstar superhero Renu and her adorable cat Kitty 💙
Renu is a dedicated fosterer of local cats - but when she met Kitty, she fell in love instantly and Kitty quickly became a ‘foster fail’. Needless to say, Kitty is over the moon to have found her forever home with Renu 🏠
We just couldn’t resist sharing this paw-fect photo with you, taken at the clinic when Renu brought Kitty in to be sterilised. Can’t you just feel the love? 😻😻
But Renu is MORE than just a fosterer, she is a total champion of the work you, my wonderful family, make possible 🙌
👉 Like a true Dogstar, she has been promoting our free spay/neuter service and cat taxi (where we offer to transport cats to and from the clinic for free) to people in her neighbourhood.
Because of this free service, so many more families now feel like they can care for a beautiful cat responsibly - meaning Renu has found it much easier to find forever homes for her other rescue cats. It also means less people feel pressured into giving up their animals when facing big veterinary costs for critical surgeries like spay/neuter.
So please join us in thanking the lovely Renu for taking Kitty under her wing, and for spreading the Dogstar word far and wide 🙏
family, with you by our side, we’re able to offer fosterers and owners the help and support they need to take care of their pets. Not only does our spay/neuter service promise a brighter future for cats and dogs, it provides relief to humans looking to do the right thing for their animals. And it simply wouldn’t be possible without your love.
With our endless gratitude,
Team Dogstar 🌟
In the right conditions (incl. being spayed/neutered) a life as a stray cat can be quite enjoyable.
Awesome shot! 📷
Our equipment donation arrived in 💙💛
Last October at in Sofia, Bulgaria, we met with Anya, a Ukranian refugee who is working with Red Panda Romania to help animals in Ukraine.
We donated equipment and have been following the journey since.
Transport to was easy but sending it to was far more difficult, as the van of their contact broke down and the weather conditions are so bad, but it has now arrived and will benefit the animals in need in the northeast of Ukraine.
In the photo: Alina receiving the equipment donation from us.
We look forward to getting more news in the coming weeks!
We are proud to be part of the project in Sri Lanka! Good job Dogstar Foundation 💚🤍💙
An equipment donation at its destination! We look forward to seeing the results of the work done with it!
Van SNIP International ontvingen we een hele mooie donatie!
2 vangkooien, een medische transportkooi, een transportkooi en een dwangkooi. Hier zijn we enorm mee geholpen.
Ontzettend bedankt lieve mensen! ❤️🐾
Project Paw Cyprus in action : presenting cat #192! 😺 …and there are many more to come!
One more set of equipment arrived well in its destination.😊 Project Paw Cyprus we look forward to seeing what you will accomplish with it! 😉
So here it is! The delivery of 5 traps to Cyprus🥳 🇨🇾🐈⬛ 🪤 ✂️ ⚽️ ⚽️ 😺🇨🇾
Whilst a rescuer credits us, we thank SNIP International for granting us this AMAZING donation. These traps are VITAL in trying to trap, neuter and return cats. ‘TNR’ is the only humane way to curb the cat population. Rescuers receive very little support in their efforts to help the cats of the island. Please if you haven’t already, sign the petition regarding the neutering of cats in Cyprus. Thank you😻

Разказахме ви за конференцията на Dogs Trust Worldwide. На нея присъстваха и колегите от SNIP International . 🐾
Те подкрепят проекти като нашия като предоставят екипировка, жизнено важна за изпълняване на нашите цели - безопасното залавяне, обработване и освобождаване на уличните котки.
Те, също като нас, вярват „че промяната е възможна и може да се случи въпреки всички трудности“. 💪
Благодарим Ви SNIP International за Вашата подкрепа и доверие. 🤝
We met some cats in Sofia. We were happy to see that two of them were eartipped.
At we had an opportunity to catch up with Dogstar Foundation that we are supporting financially on their cat neutering programme.
Great work 💙
One very happy kitty customer 😻
Though the cats you feed often sit side by side to enjoy your meals, sometimes, they prefer to dine alone. Luckily, the amazing are on hand to grant their dinner time wishes ✨
This feline clearly wanted a bit of privacy to get stuck into your breakfast, and boy did they go for it! 🤣
Happy Friday, Dogstar! We hope you have a fabulous weekend 💞
Purrs and meows,
Team Dogstar 💙
PS We were helped big time by this handsome professional photo model 😻
We wish him and to all the delegates and sponsors and organisers a good safe journey home ❤️

Happy Valentine's Day à la #TNR ! This female cat is not even one-year-old yet she was expecting kittens when she was captured and taken to the vet's few days ago. After abortion & spay & some recovery, she was returned to her usual habitat this morning; now she can now enjoy her freedom and a carefree St Valentine's with the tomcats...
