The Cat House on the Kings, a no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary and adoption center in Fresno, California, has launched a 'Spay It Forward' fundraiser to raise $50,000 and provide 1,000 low-cost cat spay/neuter procedures before the upcoming Kitten Season. The nonprofit has a generous donor who will match funds up to $15,000, and the goal is to increase spay/neuter services to address the root cause of pet overpopulation in the region.

Why it matters

Many shelters and rescues in the area are overcrowded due to the pet overpopulation crisis, leading to longer wait times for spay/neuter services and the potential euthanasia of adoptable pets. The Cat House on the Kings aims to get ahead of the issue by providing more affordable spay/neuter options to the community, reducing unplanned litters and transforming the lives of people and pets.

The details

The Cat House on the Kings, California's largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary and adoption center, is launching the 'Spay It Forward' fundraiser to provide 1,000 low-cost cat spay/neuter procedures. Many pet owners struggle to afford the high cost of spay/neuter services, and the nonprofit has seen a 2,000-procedure drop in services provided last year due to lower grant and donor funding. This fundraiser, with a matching donor, aims to address the root cause of pet overpopulation in the region.

• The 'Spay It Forward' fundraiser is launching ahead of National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month in February.
• The Cat House on the Kings hopes to provide the 1,000 low-cost spay/neuter procedures before the upcoming Kitten Season.
