Be Part of the Solution
"Public awareness on the importance of
spaying and neutering is the key to
alleviating dog and cat overpopulation.
Once individuals are educated on
the
seriousness of the overpopulation problems,
then the spay/neuter solution will really work."

PRE-PAYING and DONATING ONLINE:
While many people choose to pay in cash the morning of their appointment, we also offer the option to purchase spay/neuter certificates with a credit or debit card through PayPal. Please be aware that this process can take up to 2 weeks to get your spay/neuter certificate in the mail. There is also a minimal processing fee. Once you receive the spay/neuter certificate in the mail, you must call to schedule a standard appointment with us. If your cat needs a distemper vaccine, flea treatment, or dewormer pill, this may be purchased in cash the morning of your appointment. If you have any questions about payment method, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The PayPal feature also gives you the opportunity to make a one-time donation or a monthly-recurring donation to our organization. These donation buttons are located on the left hand side of the screen. The Donate option will give a one-time donation of the dollar amount you have entered. The Subscribe option will give a recurring donation of the dollar amount you have selected, once a month, for the next 12 months. As a 501c3 organization, all donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated. As a grassroots organization, we rely on the generous donations of the public to continue our program. If you support our cause, please consider making a monetary donation. Additionally, we are greatly honored to be included in your wishes of legacy giving and estate planning. Thank you!
We receive occasional grants that allow us to charge other non-profit organizations a reduced rate. If you are a 501(c) (3) organization and want more information, please contact us.
