Instead, we focus our efforts on preventing unwanted pets in the first place \u2014 providing low-cost spay\/neuter surgeries to help ensure every litter born is a wanted one. Ours is the only low-cost spay\/neuter clinic in Napa County, and we take the job seriously.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Of the 4521 surgeries our clinic performed last year, 1283 were for animals from local adoption and rescue organizations. <\/strong>The hundreds of thousands of dollars these groups <em>didn\u2019t <\/em>have to spend on spay\/neuter at unsubsidized veterinarian offices gives them more cash to care for the animals and find them a forever home. That feels pretty great.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to help us help our partners in animal welfare, please consider making a small gift today!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/donate\/make-a-donation\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2921\" src=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Donate-now.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"144\" height=\"31\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people don\u2019t know that Napa Humane spends more than a third of our annual budget helping local animal adoption groups.
