About Us

OUR MISSION

To provide affordable spay/neuter services for companion animals and free-roaming cats.
Thanks to the generosity of givers like you, we are able to provide professional services to our community and rescue organizations by:

  • Provide affordable spay/neuter service to owners who could not afford to do so otherwise.
  • Offer affordable vaccines and other vital services to owners of companion pets and rescue organizations.
  • Reduce the number of feral cats living in our communities through our Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) program.
