What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program
MN SNAP, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, works to keep pets with the people who love them. Through low-cost spay and neuter surgeries and core vaccinations for cats, dogs and rabbits, MN SNAP collaborates with communities across Minnesota to increase access to affordable veterinary care. MN SNAP’s mission is accomplished via a mobile surgery clinic and a stationary clinic in North Minneapolis. Since 2010, MN SNAP has completed nearly 200,000 surgeries in partnership with low-income families and nonprofit rescues and shelters.
TNR
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the humane approach to addressing community cat populations. Community cats are humanely trapped, brought to MN SNAP to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, eartipped (the universal sign that a community cat has been sterilized and vaccinated) and then returned to their outdoor home.
