Spay Neuter Kingston Initiative

To facilitate ways to reduce and eventually eradicate pet overpopulation. S.N.K.I.
(43)

was formed to facilitate the opening of a high-volume, spay/neuter clinic in the Kingston and surrounding area based on the self-sustaining model used by the Humane Alliance, open to all members of the public regardless of demographics or monetary income. OBJECTS:

To improve the welfare of cats and dogs in the Greater Kingston Area by:

a. promoting and supporting the establishment and operation

of a non-profit high volume spay and neuter service for dogs and cats using qualified veterinarian partners;

b. implementing education programs to make the public aware of the problem of pet overpopulation, the benefits of spaying and neutering their pets, the procedure, and the availability of the spay-neuter service;

c. assisting area animal shelters and rescue groups by providing reduced cost surgeries;

d. promoting the return of lost pets to their owners by sponsoring microchip clinics and other events designed to improve pet identification and the chance of owner and stray animal being reunited;

e. raising funds to spay and neuter the pets of low income owners, based on the provincial standards of poverty;

f. promoting and facilitating Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return programs for managed feral cat colonies through the Region, including reduced costs on surgeries.

Meet Pouffe. ❤️❤️❤️

Her amazing foster family describes her as a monkey, not a kitten! 😹
She's a little monkey, climbing and jumping on everything! Pouffe is a bundle of energy. When at rest, she's a little cuddle bunny, a tiny purring dynamo, sitting on your lap or sleeping on your chest.

If you are interested in learning more about Pouffe or any of the other adorable kittens in our care, please fill out an application, and a volunteer will be in touch!

Meet Kiki the beautiful momma to our kittens: Bao, Croquette, Momo, Pierogi & Samosa!

😻😻😻😻😻😻

Kiki is a sweet lady who loves to receive pets and give headbutts. She would likely do well in a family with kids who are kind and respectful of her space. She has adapted well to life inside, and we hope she finds a forever home where she will be completely spoiled.
She has been through so much living outdoors and fending for herself. Now, it is our turn to take care of her and find her a loving home.

Share to help us find the perfect home for the amazing mom! 🙏

It's Caturday with Momo!
🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

We have already introduced sweet girl due to her medical care needs. However, here are some more adorable pictures of her to swoon over. 😻

Momo is very much like her sibling, Croquette. She is a mama's girl and will often find a higher perch to observe her siblings and the comings and goings of their space. That being said, she has been the instigator of many wrestling matches and does not hold back when she's ready to play!

Our sweet kitten lot are not quite ready to go to a forever home, but if you’re interested in adopting when they are, please fill out an application, and a volunteer will be in touch!

Happy Friday with Mr. Pierogi! 🐱

Pierogi is the ONLY male is this adorable litter. He is the most confident of the group and often tries to sneak out of the kitten room when the door is opened. He is also a purr-meister who loves to be held like a baby and have his belly rubbed.

Ellie was a surprise catch for our colony caretaker. Sometimes, you have plans to catch one cat, and you end up getting another.
Ellie has been spayed, and after recovery, she will be returned to her colony to live out her life cared for daily and no longer contributing kittens! 🙏

Each cat brings this colony closer to stabilization!

We welcomed these sweet babies in our foster program last week. They were trapped and rescued from a feral colony we have been working with.

Our beloved Romeo has been facing ongoing urinary issues since he came into our care, requiring frequent vet visits.
As we work to uncover the root cause, the medical bills continue to rise. You would never know he is having issues since he continues to be just the sweetest boy! ❤️

Romeo is just one of several cats needing unexpected and costly procedures.
With your support, we can help cover these expenses.

Please consider making a donation today to assist Romeo and others cats & kittens in need.

Sweet Croquette is the princess of the litter and a mama's girl! While she is still very playful, she prefers to observe her siblings shenanigans (or survey her kingdom 😹). Out of the Dumplings, she is the lightest shade of grey with a sleeker and more tabby-striped tail.

We are remembering all the ones who have crossed over and have left paw prints on our hearts. 🌈 We have sad news to share about this sweet soul, Felix. Felix came to us very unwell. We wanted to give Felix a life free from disease, predators, and a warm home with a loving family to call his own; we tried to save him, but he couldn't stay, he tried to fight, but his poor little body and the ailments he suffered from, would not let him. Felix is another reminder that the life of a feral cat is not one free from suffering. We find comfort in knowing the Felix knew love and was not alone when he passed over the rainbow bridge. Until we meet again Felix. We're sorry. ❤️ -Team SNKI 🐾 #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay #Felix #feralcolony #ForeverInOurHearts #weloveyou #seeyouontheotherside #spayneuterkingstoninitiative #snki #teamsnki

Our Story

Spay Neuter Kingston Initiative was founded in 2009:

Primary goal is to facilitate the opening of a high-volume, reduced cost, spay/neuter clinic (based on the Humane Alliance Model) open to all members of the public regardless of monetary income or demographics;

Not-for-Profit Status was received in November of 2011;

Registered Charity Status was received in January of 2012;

T/N/V/R (Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return) Program was not one of the original goal(s) of S.N.K.I. This program started in 2010 with the Bath Institution Feral Cat Colony which was slated to be euthanized. Due to a successful and intense media campaign, this colony was saved, is now completely stabilized (all cats spayed/neutered) and is being “managed” by one of the inmates. T/N/V/R continues to be on of the mainstay program of S.N.K.I due to an overwhelming need for this service.

Spay Neuter Kingston Initiative continues to grow, branching out into different areas as the need arises.

“Managed” Feral Cat Colonies: All colonies accepted into our T/N/V/R Program must have a caretaker committed to providing food, water and adequate shelter for the duration of the lifetime of the colony. Food is supplemented by S.N.K.I. as donations permit;

Cat Foster/Adoption Program: “Friendly” cats and kittens born into our “managed” feral cat colonies are brought into foster homes where they are socialized to people. Each cat or kitten is vetted, vaccinated, treated for internal and external parasites, spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. All homes are carefully screened and every effort is made to find the best possible “match” based on the needs of the animals in our care and those of the potential adoptive homes. To date we have placed over 350 cats and kittens from our colonies into their forever homes.

K-9 Connections: Originally a Dog Foster Adoption Program, K-9 Connections has now been separated into two programs: "Meet Your Match", working with reputable rescue groups to match available dogs with potential adopters, and "Keep Your Match" which will focus on keeping dogs in their homes utilizing available resources.

Kingston Community Lost and Found Pets: Developed as a means of assisting lost and found pets unite with their owners, this program is growing in popularity among members of the community. Kijiji ads are cross-posted, an email is sent to the person who placed the ad and information on areas of highest concentrations of lost and found pets, as well as success rates, are being kept for statistical analysis.

S.N.K.I. was part of the City of Kingston’s Responsible Pet Ownership Program Committee. A voucher system is being implemented in 2014, providing $25,000 ($250.00 vouchers) towards the cost of spaying/neutering pets of low-income individuals.

The City of Kingston approached S.N.K.I. in February of 2014 and asked us to implement the TNVR (Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return) portion of the R.P.O.P. A total amount of $25,000 has been budgeted for the first year (2014) with funding available for spay/neuter and vaccinations only. As S.N.K.I. is already running an effective T/N/V/R Program, we are very much aware that there are other costs associated with optimal colony health. To that end, S.N.K.I. is covering all costs for flea treatment, treatment of minor injuries and major injuries (based on vet recommendation and as our funding permits) as well as any necessary testing.

Following the success of the 2014 City of Kingston T/N/V/R Program, S.N.K.I. will again be running this program in 2015 and 2016. This program continues into 2017 and onwards.

The City of Kingston has committed to explore the long-term vision of establishing a cost efficient, dedicated low-cost spay/neuter clinic operated in partnership with animal welfare stakeholders

To date SNKI has fixed over 1,880 cats/kittens while keeping these "at risk" kitties out of the shelter system. Feral cats and kittens do not do well in the shelter environment and are generally euthanized.

Governing Body

Our governing body is our Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for setting long-term policy, establishing the strategic direction of S.N.K.I. and ensuring the effective use of overall resources. Ultimate responsibility for control and direction of S.N.K.I. is vested in and taken by the Board of Directors.
