THANK YOU FOR VOTING IN THE
SPAYPRIL GRANT COMPETITION!
Voting is now closed. Winners will be announced by May 14.
Millions of community cats live without the care they need — not because no one cares, but because the organizations that do are stretched thin. This April, in the spirit of Free Feral Cat Spay Day (April 27), we created Spaypril: a grant competition inviting our animal welfare partners to nominate themselves for the chance to win funding in support of their cat spay and neuter programs.
Thank you to everyone who voted and helped support these incredible organizations. Every vote made a difference for community cats.
Voting closed May 12 at 11:59 pm PST. Winners will be announced by May 14 — stay tuned!
