The Pet Friendly Impact Report: 1st Quarter 2023
We’re celebrating our 200,000th spay/neuter surgery thanks to our supporters and motorists who drive with the Pet Friendly license plate.
Pet overpopulation is a prevalent issue, and spaying/neutering is the only proven solution to stop the inflow of animals into already over-crowded shelters. This relieves the burden on shelter staff and prevents the euthanasia of countless cats and dogs.
Our average surgery cost is just $70 per animal. When compared to the cost of sheltering, which can cost several hundred dollars per pet, it’s clear that spay/neuter is incredibly cost-effective. We stretch our dollars so we can serve more animals, saving dollars and saving lives!
Save lives while you drive! Get the Pet Friendly Plate!
Where We Saved Lives Last Quarter
The Pet Friendly Plate Grant allows shelters and rescues to fix their animals for FREE! This makes them healthy, happy, and adoption-ready.
The Community Cat Program Grant provides rescue groups and shelters with 25 FREE surgery certificates each year, to be used for Trap-Neuter-Return programs for outdoor cats. These certificates include a rabies vaccination and mandatory eartip.
The following organizations received their annual Pet Friendly Plate Grant and Community Cat Grant spay/neuter certificates in the fourth quarter of 2023:

Catching up with The FIX is IN!
In 2020, Pet Friendly Services launched The FIX is IN! to expand access to care and spay/neuter. Through our partnership with Public Vet, this mobile clinic is reaching under-served areas in dire need. These clinics can fix up to 130 cats per day, which lessens the backlog on vet offices in the area, allowing vets to serve more dogs.
Pet Friendly Services provides financial assistance to families and colony caretakers who could not otherwise afford to fix their cats, helping to stop overpopulation at the source. Here’s the impact we’ve made so far this year:
To see where The Fix is IN! will be next and to make an appointment, visit Public Vet’s website.
Pet Friendly Services is the only statewide non-profit that addresses pet over population at the source and receives no government funding.
Your support makes a meaningful difference for the lives of cats and dogs in Indiana.
