Overview
Mission
To reduce pet overpopulation and the resulting euthanasia of healthy dogs and cats through affordable high quality, high volume spaying and neutering and community education.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, operation: snip spayed and neutered 3,595 pets and community cats in pinellas county, Florida. Our wellness center provided preventative care to 12,791 animals. The organization continues to partner with several humane organizations and works with pinellas county animal services to honor vouchers from their pet assistance and veteran's programs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
