Spring marks the start of kitten season—when warm weather leads to countless litters adding to the homeless cat population. Because cats breed exponentially—one female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce over 420,000 kittens in just seven years—preventing unwanted litters is the only way to get ahead of this overpopulation crisis.

Free and low-cost spay/neuter is the solution.

Your donation today supports our work—funding surgeries, transportation, medical care, and community outreach to reach the cats who need it most. On May 1, we’re taking action. In a single day, we will perform 200 feral cat spay/neuter surgeries to raise awareness about the importance of this lifesaving issue.

Thanks to a generous $10,000 Matching Gift Challenge in honor of Paige Bentley, your donation today will be doubled.

We are also excited to announce Spay Day will raise crucial funds to add a sixth day of surgery at our Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic beginning this summer. A sixth day of spay/neuter surgeries at the clinic every week will enable our medical team to perform more than 24,000 free and low-cost procedures this year—a massive step toward reducing pet overpopulation and preventing animals from entering overcrowded shelters. A single day matters. But a sixth day every week saves lives all year long.

Give today and be part of the solution. Prevention saves lives.
