Who We Are
Our primary mission is spay/neuter services to reduce the overpopulation of cats in Washington County. We started informally in 2012, partnering with local vets and eventually the Animal Friends clinic in Pittsburgh to facilitate low-cost spay/neuters for cats of local community members. We had no space of our own, so we operated out of parking lots and occasionally borrowed space, meeting clients in the early morning to receive their cats, shuttle those cats to the clinic at our own expense, return to the clinic later to pick the cats up, and then meet with the cats’ caretakers to return the cats and provide post-op care instructions. When we saw how much need there really was for this work, we formalized operations as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2014, though we still continued to operate out of a series of temporary spaces. As the community became more aware of our work and could see how serious we were about it, donations began to increase, facilitating our ongoing growth to the point where we were finally able, in 2018, to purchase a building for our own use. We continue to expand our services to the community. We opened our own on-site surgical suite in August of 2019, and are quickly outgrowing our current space and are looking to find a larger facility. Our goal is to continue expanding services until we are able to offer more weekly surgical slots than have ever been available for our community before. We also now offer low-cost wellness services so that everyone can afford to provide the basic care that every cat needs and hope to expand wellness services when we find a larger facility as well.
What We Do
We offer low cost spay & neuter and wellness services to cats in Washington County and surrounding areas on site at our clinic in Canonsburg. Primarily servicing the needs of low income clients and homeless animals.
