Sponsor-A-Cat!  Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic Sponsor-A-Cat program allows donors to support our clinic is a very unique, impactful way.  Your monthly (or annual) tax-deductible donation helps provide food, enrichment, and medical attention to cats waiting to be adopted.  When you Sponsor-A-Cat, you will receive a picture and description of a cat that is presently in our care.  You will also receive a quarterly letter and updated photo giving you an update on your cat.  Want to send your cat a special toy from chewy.com?  Awesome – we’ll send you a video of her enjoying it!  We also welcome and encourage sponsors to come for a visit with their cat.    Your contribution will help us to fulfill a promise we made to our cats long ago – to provide them with optimal health care and unconditional love, just as any “forever home” would!

Sponsor-A-Cat is a great program for anyone who loves cats and cannot have any of their own, or makes a wonderful gift for an animal-lover you truly care about!  When you sponsor a cat through Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic as a gift, we will notify the recipient of your kindness and send them a picture of their new feline friend!

Adopt!  Only 1 out of 10 cats will find a permanent home… There are simply not enough adoptive homes – each year, approximately 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized because the shelters are at maximum capacity, and pet overpopulation is a growing concern.  The number of animals euthanized would be dramatically reduced if more people adopted pets instead of buying them. Are you looking for a specific breed?  You’re in luck – 25% of pets in shelters are purebred, surrendered by their previous families.  When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up shelter space for another animal who desperately needs it.

Foster!  Want to make the world a better place in one easy step?  Take home a foster pet to love and nurture them until they can be placed in a permanent home!  Fostering gives pets who may not thrive in a shelter setting a chance to be healthy and happy, and shows potential adopters what a great personality the animal has in a home setting.  Being a foster family can be such an important part of a pet’s journey, and sometimes mean the difference between a pet finding permanent sanctuary, or not.
