Partner Spotlight: Pets Alive
At Pet Friendly Services, we’re lucky to have great partners like our friends at Pets Alive in Bloomington! Pets Alive is a nonprofit, high-volume spay/neuter clinic that has performed more than 230,000 high-quality surgeries, impacting cities and counties across South Central Indiana. They also run a low-cost wellness clinic that provides vaccines, flea/tick prevention, microchipping and basic veterinary care for healthy animals.
Pets Alive makes a huge impact for animal welfare in Indiana, and it is all done at an affordable price to their clients. In fact, The Herald Times named them the “Best Non-Profit in B-Town” in 2021 AND 2022 – quite the testament to the value of the services they provide to their community!
Pets Alive is a veterinary partner in our Pet Friendly Plate Group Grant, Community Cat Grant, and Spay-Neuter Assistance Program. This partnership reflects our shared knowledge that spay/neuter is the #1 way to end unnecessary euthanasia of healthy cats and dogs in shelters. It’s our partners like Pets Alive and the rest of our veterinary network that makes our mission to have Indiana reach zero kill possible!

Where We Saved Lives Last Quarter

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.

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 200 cats per day – which lessens the backlog on vet offices in the area.
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.
