We’ve just received 260 requests within 24 hours for our $80 spay and neuter program.
While we are thrilled that so many people feel comfortable reaching out for help, this number also highlights a deeper issue we need to address together
Why This Matters
The sheer volume of requests reflects two realities:
- Kitten overpopulation is happening at an alarming rate.
- Many well-intentioned people adopt pets without realizing the cost of pet ownership.
This cycle will keep repeating unless we start looking at shared responsibility for pet care.
There is no such thing as a “free” cat or dog.
The Problem
Too many unfixed cats are being allowed outside.
Too many kittens are being given away unspayed and unneutered, passing the financial burden to the next person.
Should people giving away pets for free have some financial responsibility?
Our low-cost spay and neuter program won’t work if this cycle isn’t addressed.
Our Next Steps
We’re actively working on long-term solutions, including pushing for animal welfare legislation in our area.
But we need your input to make real progress.
We Want to Hear From You!
What ideas do you have?
What tools, messages, or community actions could help promote responsible pet ownership and reduce the number of litters?
We’re committed to helping, but we cannot keep absorbing all of this alone. 260 requests in 24 hours shows just how widespread this issue is.
These are the very cats that are getting outside every day and continuing the cycle we’re all trying so hard to stop.

Let’s work together to create meaningful change in 2026.
