Our Story
Every pet deserves a happy, healthy life, but for many pet owners, the cost of veterinary care can be a barrier to responsible pet ownership. Pet overpopulation and limited access to affordable services leave both animals and their owners struggling to find solutions.
Founded in 2003, Humboldt Spay/Neuter Network is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation and easing the financial barriers of veterinary services. Since opening, we have spayed and neutered 32,711 dogs and cats, averaging 4,300 procedures each year. In 2024 alone, we provided 303 wellness exams, 38 dental procedures, and spay/neuter services to over 1,000 feral and stray cats—helping pets and their owners across Humboldt thrive.
Our services include high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, wellness exams, and dental procedures to keep pets healthy and happy. Behind every service is our small but mighty team—a group of compassionate professionals who treat every pet with the same attention to detail and care as they would their own.
With grant funding, donations, and the dedication of local rescue groups, staff, and volunteers, we’re able to provide essential services, expand access to care programs, and actively reduce feral cat populations in Humboldt County. We’re proud of our work, but we can’t do it alone.
As a non-profit, we welcome your help, whether by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word about our low-cost spay/neuter services and other medical programs. Together, we can make a difference for pets, their families, and our community.
Our Mission
End suffering and neglect caused by pet overpopulation and economic hardship through affordable spay/neuter services and medical access-to-care programs for cats and dogs.
