For 2023, our goal is to increase the number of free spay and neuter surgeries in seven counties in Washington including Puget Sound and eastern Washington. Our services focuse on serving the many colonies of community cats who are the most at risk of suffering, and provide surgeries to the pets of people who are experiencing housing or financial instability.

Spay and neuter surgeries help prevent the overpopulation of cats and dogs across Washington. We can't solve the pet overpopulation crisis through adoptions alone, we must also prevent unwanted and accidental pregnancies. Cats and dogs can have up to two litters per year and those kittens and puppies can have their first litter before they are a year old! Sadly, there are thousands of dogs and cats in our state who are already homeless and waiting for their chance at a forever home; more unwanted puppies and kittens born fill already crowded shelters. So, you can see how important it is to spay or neuter your pet! (Note, females are spayed and males are are neutered.)
Our Safety Net Program supports clients who can’t afford the cost to spay or neuter their cat; when this occurs, we cover the full or partial cost of the surgery (at select clinics).
Our Spay and Neuter Increase Program (SNIP) increases the number of high quality, low-cost cat and dog spay and neuter surgeries being performed in Washington State. To tackle the overpopulation issue, we create new and expand current spay and neuter programs throughout the state. We focus on areas with high rates of cat and dog overpopulation where there are few affordable surgery options; we identify partners that can provide the high quality and low-cost surgeries; and, we raise funds and give administrative support to facilitate the surgeries.
