Nothing else you do will alleviate as much suffering or prevent the killing or 'warehousing' of adoptable pets as quickly or efficiently as spaying and neutering." ~ Nancy Burnet
Our aim is to help end pet overpopulation in the Niagara Region by offering financial assistance towards the cost of spay/neuter to pet owners in need. Please Note: we are not a rescue group. We do not take in strays or re-home pets. The only thing we do is assist financially with spay/neuter. If you need help with rescue or re-homing pets please contact one the rescue groups in Niagara. We do, however, work with other rescue groups to find homes for cats and kittens. To view some of the cats & kittens we are currently helping to find homes for please go to our Pet Finder Page:

That there is a pet overpopulation means simply this: there are not enough homes for all the cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. As a result, thousands of healthy, adoptable animals are killed each year in Niagara alone. It is our failure to spay and neuter our pets that has brought us to this tragic situation. Consider this: one female cat and her offspring, in 7 years, can be responsible for the birth of 420,000 cats; one female dog and her offspring, in 6 years, can be responsible for the birth of 67,000 dogs.
Pet abandonment is also a major contributing factor to the pet overpopulation crisis. In Niagara thousands of abandoned pets and feral cats suffer sickness, exposure, starvation and death on the streets and in the countryside as they attempt to survive on their own.
The single most important thing you can do to help end this sad situation is: spay/neuter your pet! Do not allow your pet to breed. For every new kitten or puppy born more animals in shelters die. Please be a responsible pet owner and fix your pet! Spay/neuter surgeries will lead to a decrease in the euthanasia rate and increase the live release rate (the number of animals that leave the shelter alive) of animals. If you cannot afford to spay/neuter you pet, please fill in an application for assistance (click on the Assistance Application tab) and either email it back to us at nsnap@cogeco.ca or mail to: N-SNAP, PO Box 744, Fonthill, On L0S 1E0
Besides being the humane thing to do, there are many health benefits to spaying and neutering your pets! It will increase his/her chance of a longer and healthier life. Spaying a female cat helps prevent uterine and ovarian cancer. It will also help prevent mammary gland cancer, perianal tumors, and pyometra. Neutering your male cat prevents prostate and testicular cancer. Cats that have been spayed or neutered are less likely to roam and/or get into fights that can lead to serious bite wounds that spread diseases such as Feline Leukemia, Feline Aids, and Feline Infectious Anemia.

Reducing the flood of unwanted animals is best done...by stopping surplus animals from being born in the first place.
