Our Spay Day events offer free TNVR surgeries for South Florida’s community cats. In 2023, our Spay Day events resulted in over 1,300 TNVR’d community cats!
During Spay Day, all cats will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ear-tipped. Pre-registration is recommended, Walk-ins are welcome. All cats must come in a trap, not a carrier. Traps are available for loan with a refundable deposit.

What is TNVR?
Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) is a program in which free-roaming cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies and other feline viruses, microchipped, and then returned to their outdoor homes.
TNVR has been shown to be the least costly, most effective, and humane way of stabilizing and decreasing community cat populations.
