February is Spay & Neuter Month, and at SPCA International, we are proud to celebrate it with action.
This year, we are committing more than $270,000 to spay-and-neuter efforts around the world. These funds will support trusted partners in Brazil, Nepal, Panama, Serbia, South Korea, Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, the United States, and Venezuela, helping them spay and neuter stray animals and provide free or low-cost sterilizations to pets in low-income communities.
Every day, animals are born into situations where there are not enough homes, food, or medical care. Unplanned litters often mean more animals living on the streets, facing hunger, disease, injury, and cruelty.
Spaying and neutering is the most humane and effective way to prevent this suffering before it starts.
When animals are spayed or neutered:
- Fewer puppies and kittens are born without homes
- Communities see fewer animals living on the streets
- Shelters are less overcrowded
- Animals live healthier, longer lives
Spaying and neutering is not about limiting life. It is about protecting it.
Spay & Neuter Month is a time to celebrate progress, but it is also a reminder that this work must continue year-round.
At SPCA International, we remain committed to humane, practical solutions that protect animals and support the people who care for them. By investing in spay and neuter programs around the world, we are helping build a future where fewer animals suffer, and more can live safe, healthy lives.
Together, we can stop the cycle of overpopulation and create kinder communities for animals everywhere.
