Mission: Our mission is to save the lives of homeless cats by providing access to high volume spay/neuter surgery in a safe and humane environment, collaborating with others and mentoring like-minded organizations to increase spay/neuter in their regions. The feral cat spay/neuter project has altered over 100,000 cats since our inception in 1997.We are the first free standing clinic that is dedicated to providing free spay/neuter surgery for free-roaming cats in a safe, high quality, humane environment. Cats from over 23 counties throughout washington state have been brought to our clinic to be altered.

Programs: In 2017, the feral cat spay/neuter project performed 6,722 spay/neuter surgeries on feral and free-roaming cats, and tame cats in the possession of rescue organizations or owned by individuals. Surgeries on tame cats are performed as part of our organization's "feral cat prevention" program. Given our extensive experience and significant accomplishments in performing high-quality, high-volume, and low-cost surgeries, we have become a mentor for other organizations wishing to start or enhance spay/neuter programs in their communities. In 2017, we continued the promotion of our website to help guide others who wish to establish spay/neuter clinics of their own. In addition to the support offered through our website, our board of directors and our staff regularly assist other individuals and organizations by providing technical and management guidance, clinic tours, and support over the phone, via correspondence and in person.
