Animal's Best Friend Fund

Animal's Best Friend Fund ABF is an all volunteer, non-profit animal welfare group dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation. Please call 269-808-0064 for more information.

Our Mission:
The mission of Animal’s Best Friend Fund is to reduce the stray, feral and unwanted dog and cat populations in Kalamazoo and Van Buren Counties (Michigan) by providing spay/neuter programs targeted to assist low/fixed income persons and feral cat caretakers. Our programs are reducing the number of cats and dogs being euthanized at area animal control facilities. How We Work:
Animal’s

Best Friend Fund is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.We partner with select area veterinary clinics to provide spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in need. ​It is our policy that over 90% of all income received goes directly to helping animals - not to salaries or excessive administrative expenses. Since our inception in 1981, we have helped to spay/neuter over 50,000 cats and dogs! Our Programs:

Subsidized Spay/Neuter Program for Cats and Dogs:
If funding is available, Animal's Best Friend will pay for part of your pet's spay/neuter surgery. The subsidy amounts are as follows:

Cat: $40

Dog: $80

Each month, ABF works with certain area veterinary clinics by authorizing the clinic to provide a certain amount in subsidies.

​Call 269-624-1090 and listen to the recording to find out which veterinary clinics have been selected, and then ask to make an appointment with one of them. When you schedule the appointment, ask if there is any ABF money left to apply to your pet's surgery. You will be responsible for paying the balance of your bill after the subsidy is applied.

​Your best chance of getting the surgery subsidized is by scheduling your appointment early in the month when the clinics are first authorized to use the money. Free Spay/Neuter Program for Feral and Free-Roaming Cats:
ABF also strives to make a difference in the lives of feral and free-roaming cats by focusing on TNR (trap-neuter-release) in selected areas of Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties. What Doesn't Animal's Best Friend Do? Animal's Best Friend's focus is on spay/neuter. If you need help with other vet care, help finding a home for an animal, or want to adopt a pet, please contact some of the other Michigan organizations who may be able to assist you. See the Resources page for help.

Just a friendly reminder. If you have oranges, cuties - mandarin oranges, tangerines, tangeloes... slice them in half and set them out for your squirrel friends. They love these treats and especially in the winter months, benefit from the nutrients of the fruits.

Everywhere we go for the last 2 weeks, we’ve seen female cats being followed, cornered, and worse. Now is the time for you to save cats from this and to help your community not have as many kittens in need of help in a few months.

If you have any ability to interrupt the cycle, get him and/or her fixed, please please do that. If you have no ability to do this, please reach out for help. Don’t be the person that knowingly has/feeds unaltered cats, does nothing about what’s coming, and then needs help with kittens that could have been prevented. If you are in Louisville, there are great resources in place to assist with spay/neuter.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible for us to have 1,853 cats and dogs neutered during 2,024. That’s an awful lot of animals that will no longer be contributing to the animal over population problem. Happy New Year everyone.
