The Spay Neuter Project

Spay Neuter Project (SNP) makes high-quality spay and neuter surgery performed by a skilled surgeon, using minimally invasive techniques, accessible and affordable to pet owners of all income levels. As a nonprofit organization, highly dependent upon the generosity of our supporters and donors, our mission's impact extends beyond our local Columbia community outward, sometimes reaching well into surrounding states. In addition to private donors, SNP works closely with rescue groups, shelters, TNR (trap, neuter, release), and other feral and community cat organizations. Without our affordable services and weekly vaccine clinics removing financial barriers, many families would find it impossible to ensure their pets' health and well-being in the homes where they are loved.

 SNP provides a humane, affordable, and accessible solution to reduce pet overpopulation.

Conveniently located near the intersection of Providence and Business Loop 70 on Austin Avenue, the SNP team has completed over 33,000 surgeries and served nearly 50,000 animals since opening in April 2015. The small but mighty, compassionate, and highly skilled SNP Team excels in performing high-quality, high-volume surgeries. But as incredible as the SNP team is, we can't do it without your help! 

Medical supply costs, like everything else, are increasing at an alarming rate. Cleaning and office supplies are terribly expensive, as you most likely know from personal experience. Wage requirements are going up to keep pace with the cost-of-living increases. Yet, we struggle to remain affordable, resisting daily the need to increase fees, but every day the weight of the struggle becomes heavier. That's why we need YOU! Our commitment to care for the most vulnerable animals, regardless of the ability of their owner/advocate's financial situation, is not possible without your support and generosity. Every animal deserves essential services. Please help us to ensure no animal is ever turned away due to financial hardship.

Join us in our mission, as we partner with rescue organizations, shelters, and animal advocates from all walks of life to reduce pet overpopulation and keep our furry family members out of shelters, off the streets, and safe in loving homes. Together, we are SAVING LIVES...ONE SURGERY AT A TIME!
