OUR MISSION

The mission of Altered Tails is to provide affordable spay/neuter services for companion animals and free-roaming cats.  It is only through the generosity of donors and friends like you that we are able to exit.  We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing high quality professional veterinary services and are committed to:

• Provide affordable spay/neuter service to owners who could not afford to do so otherwise.
• Offer affordable vaccines and other vital services to owners of companion pets and rescue organizations.
• Reduce the number of feral cats living in our communities through our Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) program.
• Help eliminate euthanasia as a form of population control.
