The month of March is our 6th Anniversary!

On March 12, 2012, ACT celebrated its 6th aniversary! We’ve really grown.

• The 10,000th feral SpayDay cat was fixed on January 8th, 2012 in the ACT Clinic.
• ACT has performed 59,792 surgeries over the past 6 years.
• Until space restraints kicked in last year, ACT has grown by an average of 30% a year.
• Until we move to the bigger facility, ACT’s growth is at its maximum.

"We've had our home for 6 years -- we think we'll stay."

On February 4th, The Animal Coalition of Tampa is brought Nathan Winograd, the leader of the No Kill movement in the US to Tampa.  This conference was the kick-off in a county-wide initiative hosted by the Animal Coalition of Tampa, and brought to you by the No Kill Advocacy group's 11 effective steps to creating a truly no kill shelter.

 We believe that 90% of the animals that arrive in county shelters are saveable and adoptable. We call this initiative Save90. We have created a website for this movement. Please visit Save90.org for more information on this initiative.

If you are not able to make it to this conference, we hold monthly meetings, at 6:30 on the first Wednesday of the month, at the Tampa Tribune building (202 S Parker St, Tampa, Fl). Our meetings are open to the public and we invite encourage!!)  you to attend. Please click on this link to order your FREE tickets. The tickets are a means for us to manage the size of the meeting room. Come...join the alliance, and Save 90!

Our Mission

The Mission of ACT is to provide non-lethal solutions to companion animal over-population. ACT's Spay/Neuter Clinic began as a small clinic in North Hyde Park, Tampa in March 2006. Today, we help control the animal population by providing high-volume, high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter procedures and other services that keep animals in their homes and out of our county's shelter.

“There is no disease or condition of companion animals that takes more of their lives than euthanasia.”

-Janet M. Scarlett, DVM, MPH, PhD, Professor of Epidemiology at Cornell University
