 At the Pet Overpopulation Prevention, we are committed to ending the suffering and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals. Our staff and volunteers provide support and life-saving rehabilitation for the animals in our care.

We are saving pets, one life at a time. We are proud of the progress we have made over the years and we know there is still a long way to go. Tracking our spay and neuter numbers is how we measure our progress in saving lives and helps us to identify how to best help the most at-risk animals.

In the next few years we are working on solutions to save more cats in our community.

You can help make a difference! Consider making a donation today, or come to volunteer, or foster an animal in your home – it takes a community to make a difference.

HOW CAN I HELP?

POPP is looking for volunteers to join our teams.

POPP depends on our dedicated network of volunteers to help us promote our mission of promoting responsible pet ownership by educating the public regarding spaying and neutering their pets, spay/neuter assistance, and providing various methods of caring for and finding homes for feral, abandoned, and/or homeless pets.
