AIMS / MISSION STATEMENT:
 
 

To put a stop to the misery of homeless cats and dogs by controlling the overpopulation through an intensive sterilization program. Spay Panama is not a shelter but promotes the adoption of homeless animals.

 
 
 
 
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN:
 
 

Spay/Panama was founded in 2001.  Our goal is to ensure that affordable spay/neuter services are available to all low-income pet guardians and feeders/rescuers of homeless animals.  Over 26,000 animals have been sterilized to date.  Operations take place in Panama City twice a week and periodic off-site sterilization campaigns are done in remote areas.

 
 

Statistics as of March 2010:

Cats sterilized:  15,258
Dogs sterilized: 11,141
Animals placed for adoption: 1,421

Spay Panama is a non-profit organization regiserted in Panama and through Spay Panama's Animals Yes, USA, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the USA.

If you volunteer with Spay/Panama, we provide airport transportation, lodging, meals and laundry in exchange for a donation of surgical supplies (sutures, needles, antibiotics, flea and tick medication, etc.). 

You will have to share your space with some friendly rescued animals, including our newest member, Lolita, a cat who lost a kidney, and Rancho the dog who was rescued after a mean person hit him with a machete.
