SNIP International has been donating TNR equipment to Stichting Zwerfkatten Nederland (Foundation for Feral Cats in the Netherlands) for 10 years and seen them grow into the large, influential cat welfare charity that they are today.

With SNIPi’s help, Stichting Zwerfkatten Nederland has yielded some truly remarkable moments and breakthroughs. Our donation of equipment has helped to humanely control the cat population in the Netherlands.

A Successful Year of Trapping

Many feral cats and kittens were trapped during the year, thanks to the equipment provided by SNIPi and the hard work of Stichting Zwerfkatten Nederland. During 2023 they managed to neuter 1,400 feral cats!

An Unusual Escape, A Unique Solution

Whilst the mesh floor traps would usually be utilised to trap outdoors, in a twist of events, a feral cat managed to escape indoors, just before she was about to be spayed. She ran to a narrow space between several closets. Luckily, the donated trap, fitted just perfectly between the closets, providing an unexpected solution.

Nurses Best Friend Restrainer Plus

The Nurses Best Friend Restrainer Plus is an integral part of Stichting Zwerfkatten Nederland’s toolkit. This restrainer not only assists in safe captures before neutering but also plays a vital role in handling feral kittens for vaccination. It’s their protective shield against diseases like Feline Parvo or cat flu. The use of the restrainer has been so effective that it’s featured in their TNRC handbook TNRC handbook
