Our low income cat spay/neuter program fixed 1,654 cats for approximately 1,163 households with annual gross incomes of less than 50,000. These surgeries were funded entirely by the foundation, with no co-pays charged to pet owner/caregivers. This work was done locally, in 16 new mexico counties, through the participation of 33 private spay/neuter and veterinary clinics. Another 307 owner/caregivers received vouchers for our spay/neuter services that were not yet redeemed during the year. Our community cat outreach program partnered with seven other new mexico nonprofits to provide essential veterinary care for an additional 2,281 cats in low income households. Through these partnering arrangements with other nonprofits, essential veterinary care services were provided for cat populations in san miguel, santa fe, rio arriba, mckinley, taos and valencia counties.
