Spay/Neuter Programs
People for Animals League strongly believes that the only way to stop pet overpopulation is to education and assist people in spaying and neutering their pets. PAL works hard to find the best homes for the cats in their care, but the truth is that there are just not enough homes for each pet and shelters are overflowing with animals, especially cats, that need new loving famililes. As a no-kill shelter, the felines at PAL are fortunate to have whatever time it takes to find their forever home.

Be part of the solution!

PAL offers two low cost spay/neuter programs to assist pet owners:
The Animal Rescue League Spay Waggin and Feral Spay Sunday.
