Overview

Mission

To reduce the overpopulation of cats in the san antonio area through public education, rescue, trap-neuter-return (tnr), and empowering the community to care for outside cats.

What it reported doing in 2025

Tnr spay/neuter subsidy program - safcc subsidizes the cost of spay/neuter for four clinics so the public only pays 25 to get an outside cat spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Our partner clinics are the san antonio humane society, spay neuter assistance program (snap), the animal defense league and the spay neuter network. In 2025, our subsidy program fixed 3,219 cats at a cost of 115,717. In 2025, we tracked the costs of the safcc spay/neuter clinc separately as it had become a high-volume spay/neuter clinc that services safcc trappers and our adoption program. Dragonfly vet services is contracted to perform the surgeries. In 2025, our safcc clinic fixed 1,370 tnr'ed cats at a cost of 106,000.
