Overview

Mission

The organization is run by a veterinarian with a small staff to provide affordable care to pet owners, animal rescue organizations and work in cooperation with trap-neuter-vaccinate-release providers to control feral cat populations.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our mission is to make a positive impact on animal welfare in our region through high volume spay and neuter surgery. We will impact our region in several key areas. The first key area is to reduce the number of animals entering our shelters by preventin unwanted litters from being born. By minimizing shelter overcrowding, we reduce the number of euthanasia due to space and sickness. The second key are is support of the essential human-animal bond between owners and their pets in our community. By providing basic affordable care for their pets, we will help keep them healthy and in homes where they belong. The third key area is reduce the population of feral cats through tnvr (trap-neuter-vaccinate-release) efforts. We partner with local cat trappers and feral cat programs to help end useless killing of these cats.
