Financial Impact:
The funds for the requested action are a result of the UC Davis Sniptember Spay/Neuter Grant.
Background Information:
On November 14, 2022, the Division of Animals Services was selected to receive a California for All Animals, UC Davis, “Sniptember Grant” in the amount of $180,000.
In keeping with the Division’s adoption program and state spay/neuter requirements, this grant allowed Animal Services to purchase the needed surgical equipment and supplies, as well as fund staffing for spay and neuter surgeries for shelter animals on the newly purchased mobile veterinary clinic.
This Fiscal Year 25/26, during Quarter 1, the department staffed a total of 200 spay/neuter surgeries and was able to spay and neuter 57 cats and 143 dogs utilizing the new mobile veterinary clinic. To date, the grant funds have allowed the division to staff 824 spay/neuter surgeries.
