Mission: Our mission is to end the suffering and death of minnesota cats and dogs due to overpopulation by providing both high-quality, affordable and accessible spay and neuter services to those in need and animal welfare education in the communities we serve. Using a conservative litter estimate and considering only mn snap's female patients, the organization has prevented the birth of more than 4.5 million unwanted pets and saved low-income families more than $17.5 million in veterinary care costs. We partner with numerous rescues, foundations, and individuals to provide additional funding subsidies for needed spay and neuter services.

Mn snap's mission is to end the suffering and death of minnesota cats and dogs due to overpopulation by providing both high-quality, affordable and accessible spay and neuter services to those in need and animal welfare education in the communities we serve.

Surgeries not performed in the mobile clinic are performed at mn snap's headquarters in north minneapolis.
