This leaves vulnerable animals open to being injured and exposed to diseases because they lack the necessary care. Our goal is to work with the members of our community to make sure we can spay and neuter feral cats in our community, to reduce the population, and find homes for those already living outside.

Why should I spay or neuter my pet?
If a pet is not spayed or neutered it leaves them vulnerable to cancers and infections that can be life-threatening. It is always best to consult your veterinarian before deciding whether your pet is healthy enough and eligible for surgery.
