Save Austin's Free Spay/Neuter Services

Result:
On Wednesday, July 22, the City Manager presented his proposed 2009-2010 City budget. The budget fully retained all Animal Services with no cuts to free spay/neuter, microchips, or feral cat funding! These programs are critical to maintaining our progress towards becoming a humane community – a place where no cat or dog is ever killed just for being homeless.

It was evident that this outcome was due in large part to the turnout at those Town Hall meetings and the huge public input on this issue through e-mail, phone calls, and signatures on the petition. Our city has so much to be proud of today and it is because of your support! Click the link below to see the full budget proposal

Thank you for your support of Emancipet, and the City's Free Spay & Neuter program.

We, the undersigned, agree that the free sterilization program is an investment in prevention and sustainability, and that it works.

It is imperative that the free sterilization program remain fully funded, and as a core part of the City’s general fund.
