OUR PROACTIVE OUTREACH PROGRAMS FACILITATE THE SPAYING/NEUTERING OF COMPANION ANIMALS AND FREE-ROAMING CATS IN OUR COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING ENCOURAGING THE PARTICIPATION OF PEOPLE WHO MAY BE RELUCTANT OR UNABLE TO PAY FOR SUCH SERVICES. WE PROVIDED 825 SURGERIES AT NO COST FOR PIT BULLS, PIT MIXES, AND CHIHUAHUAS THROUGH OUR WE PAY TO SPAY PROGRAM. THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY CAT PROGRAM, 6,586 CATS WERE ALTERED AT A LOW COST OR NO COST TO OUR TNR PARTNERS.
