It is dedicated to spaying and neutering cats and dogs, and opened in 2012.[2][3][4] In 2007 the clinic was credited along with other local organizations for, "significantly minimizing euthanasia, increasing adoptions, and lowering population by neutering" on a "shoestring" budget.[5] In 2016 the clinic had to close temporarily due to funding "sustainability"[6] issues.[7] The center needed to raise $US50,000 in order to reopen.[8] In 2017 the organization expanded from cats only to also serve dogs.[9] The organization charged between 40 and 120 $US to spay and neuter pets and ferals in 2017 sliding scale depending on need.[10]
