Our Spay/Neuter Clinic Saves Lives
AnimalKind was founded with the goal of building a no-kill community. Reducing the overpopulation of cats and dogs through spay/neuter is the single most effective way to accomplish this mission. A kitten can have her first litter at 6 months old and cats can have two to four litters a year. Cats can have between 3 and 6 kittens per litter. However, once those babies reach 6 months, they too can start producing litters.
It’s estimated that one un-spayed female cat and her offspring can produce nearly 3,000 kittens in 7 years! That’s why spay and neuter are so critical. Without it, overpopulation of unwanted animals will continue to be out of control and too many kittens ending up dying from sickness, starvation, the elements and/or euthanasia in shelters — because there are NOT ENOUGH HOMES FOR ALL OF THEM.
How Does Spay/Neuter Help?
Humanely reduces the number of unwanted pets who are born without homes
Humanely reduces the number of unwanted pets turned into shelters
Humanely reduces the number of pets euthanized in traditional kill shelters
Our Targeted Approach
Our spay/neuter efforts have been designed to assist low-income, underserved communities. We want to ensure everyone has access to spay/neuter services. We have designed our pricing to make sure there are incentives for low-income community members to alter their own animals as well as community cats.

TNR - Why it’s Important to Work Together
in 2026, the kitten season has seemed never ending and our regional shelters are nearly all over-capacity, including our own. We need to all work together to decrease the population of community and stray cats. Trap, Neuter, and Releasing Juvenile and Adult cats and caring in place while they live out the remainder of their lives is a humane way to end the reproduction cycle. Many cats living outside only know living outside and it is less humane and more stressful to the cat to try to “convert” them into domestication. By trapping, altering, and returning to their home location, and providing food, water, and even basic shelter, cats can live enriched lives. Call us today for more information on TNR or review our TNR Information Sheet.
Microchipping - Protects Your Lost Pet
Thousands of lost pets end up in kill shelters and never find their way home. Don’t let that happen to your pet!
Microchipping gives you a chance to be reunited with your pet if they ever get lost. All veterinarians and shelters scan incoming animals for microchips, and you always get a call if they’re microchipped.
Give your pet a chance to get home if they’re ever lost!
