The H.O.P.E.
Spay/Neuter Clinic is proud to be Connecticut's only nonprofit, high volume, high quality, reduced cost, spay/neuter clinic for cats and dogs. Our mission is simple - to end the tragedy of cat and dog overpopulation, homelessness, and euthanasia in Connecticut. We fulfill our mission by providing high quality spay/neuter services while targeting the most prolific populations: strays, ferals, and unaltered pets whose owners do not have access to veterinary care. Feral and pet overpopulation is a problem in our state and throughout the United States. Every year, about 8 million cats and dogs wait patiently in shelters for a home and more than half will be destroyed to make room for more. This needless destruction costs taxpayers over a billion dollars every year. In Connecticut, no-kill rescue organizations are continually full, leaving homeless and abandoned animals without a safe place to go or a chance of being rescued. The only proven, humane and effective way to end the heartbreak of pet and feral overpopulation and euthanasia is through effective, targeted and affordable spay/neuter programs. H.O.P.E. is part of the Humane Alliance network of over 75 clinics nationwide working together to end, not just reduce, cat and dog overpopulation in the United States. We are one of only four Humane Alliance clinics in New England, joining VT-CAN in Middlesex Vermont, Dakin Community Spay/Neuter Clinic in Springfield, Mass. and the Rhode Island Community Spay/Neuter Clinic in Warwick, Rhode Island. We share a mission of providing targeted spay/neuter services in New England for those most in need. We receive no state or federal funding to help us provide our much needed services. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization we depend on individual donations and grants to help cover the true, higher cost of surgery so we can keep our prices affordable for those in need. The H.O.P.E. Spay/Neuter Clinic's focus is saving lives through prevention by spaying and neutering. To assist our clients in caring for their animals, we offer reduced cost vaccines, virus testing and parasite control at the time of surgery only. To keep our spay/neuter services affordable, we cannot provide wellness care, annual vaccines or emergency care. We encourage all pet owners and animal caregivers to establish a relationship with a local, full-service veterinarian.
