UCAN Nonprofit Spay/Neuter Clinic

Did you know:
• 71% of women in domestic violence shelters report their abuser threatened, injured, or killed a pet.
• Nearly half of victims stay with an abuser rather than leave their pet behind.
• 52% of survivors in shelters leave their pets with the abusers.
We provide FREE spay/neuter surgery and core vaccines to pets of abuse victims so they can leave their abuser and take their pet with them to a safe shelter. Please help support these beloved pets and their owners by making a tax-deductible donation today at https://ucancincinnati.org/how-to-help/donate.
If you are in an abusive relationship but are not leaving because of your pet, there is help for you, please contact The Ion Center For Violence Prevention or The Paw In Hand Project, Inc. ❤🐾

We are closed on Friday, July 4, for the holiday, which means we will not be performing any cat surgeries on Thursday (only dogs).

Please remember more pets get lost on July 4 than any other day of the year because of fear of fireworks. Please take precautions to protect your pet. We hope you all have a wonderful, safe, and cool holiday weekend!

We are honored to share that we are a recipient of an Animal Welfare Award from Greater Cincinnati Foundation to support our Keeping Pets with Their Families Initiative! 🐾 ❤🐈🐕

As our community foundation, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation supports their nonprofit partners like us, whose work contributes to building a dynamic region—one defined by healthy people and vibrant places where individuals and families want to stay, grow, and invest in their futures. The Foundation found that our commitment to animal welfare plays a vital role in this vision, helping to foster compassion, safety, and well-being in our neighborhoods and strengthening the bonds between people, animals, and the places we share.

Thank you so much Greater Cincinnati Foundation for helping us keep pets with the families that loved them, making ours a happier and healthier community!

🐈‍ Got Mice? 🐈

😻 OAR can help you out! 😻

Sometimes through our partner shelters we come across a cat who is not well suited to living indoors but cannot be released to their original outdoor home.
These cats go on to become barn cats! Barn cats are excellent mousers and make great pest control. They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped!

We can even deliver within a one hour driving distance of OAR! 🛻

🐈 If you are interested in learning more and possibly adopting a pair (or more!) of these working cats, email [email protected]

Together we can save more cats! 🤩

Time is running out to get great deals for a great cause! Our annual fundraising auction ends at 1 pm tomorrow. You can still bid at https://www.32auctions.com/ucan2025 to help at-risk animals!

Times are hard and people need financial assistance with basic veterinary care more than ever. In 2024, we performed 12,115 spay/neuter surgeries (82 of which were lifesaving pyometra surgeries and 5,728 of which were community cats) and 6,975 vaccine clinic appointments. Even at our low fees, we had to subsidize $767,640 in services so pets would get the surgery and core vaccines they needed and be able to stay with the owners who loved them (some owners were homeless or abuse victims living at temporary shelters). Such assistance would not be possible without the funds from this annual fundraiser and grants and donations. So, thank you for your support!!! 🐾❤🐕🐈
