| 🐶 March Spay Day Recap 🐱
Our March 1st Spay Day was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when compassion and collaboration come together. Thanks to the dedication of our 17 attending veterinary students and the partnership of local organizations, we made meaningful strides in reducing pet overpopulation and expanding access to care in our community. 💙
In total, 20 pets from JACPS, South Georgia Equine Rescue, Bumper Bulldog Rescue, and No Kill Glynn County received life-changing spay/neuter services at our newly renovated Norwood Spay/Neuter Center & Community Clinic—preventing future litters, improving long-term health outcomes, and easing the burden on local shelters and rescue groups!
Beyond the numbers, these events provide invaluable hands-on experience for the next generation of veterinary professionals, strengthening the future of compassionate, community-centered care. 🩺 We'd like to extend a special thanks to UF's Student Chapter of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and the J.R. Peterson Foundation!
Our next Spay Day will be taking place April 19th in collaboration with the students and faculty of Project HEAL. 😊 |

Rosie’s Fund Matching Campaign Recap Because of your incredible generosity, our February Rosie’s Fund Matching Campaign made a powerful impact for community cats in need. Thanks to supporters like you, we raised over $48,000, unlocking the full $20,000 match and doubling the number of cats who will receive critical spay/neuter and preventative care! 🐱
Throughout the month, donors came together to help break the cycle of overpopulation—funding care for community cats and moving us closer to a future with fewer litters, less suffering, and less strain on local shelters. Your compassion today truly means fewer kittens tomorrow. Thank you for being part of this life-saving work. ❤️ |
