Thousands of cats, dogs kittens and puppies are killed in Indianapolis shelters every year, while only a fraction are adopted. Uncounted thousands more suffer and die on the streets each year. There are simply too many animals and not enough homes. Cities across the country have proven that low-cost spay/neuter clinics are the most effective means of eliminating pet overpopulation.
The FACE Low-Cost Spay/Neuter was established in 1999 as the first high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Indianapolis. We have dramatically reduced pet overpopulation and the misery and death it brings in the Indianapolis area. Spay/neuter is a proven solution: fewer animals born means it is easier to find homes for existing animals.
FACE's Impact
In the year 2000, Indianapolis shelters killed 22,000 cats and dogs. Had the FACE Spay/Neuter Clinic not opened, Indianapolis would be killing approximately 30,000 animals every year, given human population growth. However, due to FACE’s work, the number of cats and dogs euthanized was down to 8,000 at the end of 2011.
As the population of cats and dogs continues to decline, we will focus our efforts in areas of the city and population with the greatest need. See our
Special Programs page.
