Prices are $20 for dogs and $10 for cats.

 

Gift Certificates

We have made gift certificates in the denomination of $10 and $20, the cost of an individual sterilization for a cat or a dog. Do you have a friend or neighbor or worker who has an animal needing to be sterilized? Please tell them that the procedure will make their animals safer and free them from the worry of the related illnesses or injuries that might ensue with cat or dog fights.

These certificates are an easy way to help. They are available at the Animales table at the BCP Tuesday Market or at our clinics.

Need to catch a cat?

Need help with trapping a cat for our sterilization clinic? We can help!

Our humane cat traps are available to the general public as part of our community outreach. Simply WhatsApp  Dyana Fruto at +507 6361-5098 to make arrangements for pick-up and return.  This service is free thanks to our dedicated volunteers and donors.

All equipment must be returned clean, sanitized, and in good condition. Don't forget to register the animal you want sterilized prior to arriving at the clinic.

We need your help!

You probably already know that our mission is to provide low cost spaying and neutering of cats and dogs and to promote the general welfare of animals in our community and surrounding areas. But did you know that we never turn away an animal, regardless of the owner's ability to pay?  As of October 2024 we have sterilized  30,548 animals - 15,628 dogs and 14,920 cats

Or that the cost of a single sterilization far outweighs the amount we charge? In fact, while we only charge $10 for a cat and $20 for a dog, on average for all animals, our cost is $25.78 per animal but we only receive $13.19.  THAT IS A SHORTFALL EVERY MONTH OF ABOUT $3,500.

Every animal we sterilize receives anasthesia, plus medications for pain, antibiotics, anti-parasitics and amino acids.  We have other costs for syringes, sutures, bandages, wraps for the cats, food for the volunteers, typical maintenance expenses for our building, and more.

PLEASE, help us feed local Dogs and Cats..

There are so many local families struggling this past year. Since the pandemic started, we have been purchasing dog and cat food at a cost of about $1,300 per month.  We have been distributing this food to local families through the government and our collectors. We delivered over 14,000 pounds of pet food in 2021, and more than 17,000 pounds in 2022.  Our main requirement is that all animals must be sterilized.  We raised $15,594 in 2022, and our goal is $15,000 for 2023. Any donation is helpful. Thank you. Donate here.

 

Way, our 30,000th animal sterilized since 2005!

The lucky 30,000th animal is a dog named Way, who lives in Jaramillo and was brought to the clinic by Rosemary Lumy, one of our very dedicated collectors, and his owner, Rosa Ortiz. Rosemary has collected over 100 animals from the Jaramillo, La Estrella and La India areas. As you can tell, she is tireless in her efforts to help needy animals.

Volunteer Training Video

In January 2022 we held a Training session via Zoom for New and Returning Volunteers. The meeting mainly covered the process that an animal goes through as it travels through the clinic, from Registration all the way to Recovery and going home safely. Please watch the video here.
