The Stride for Strays is Coming!!!
We are asking your help support Animal Coalition’s Stride for Stray event. ACT’s vision is a community where dogs and cats are safe and treated with respect. We offer low-cost ways to do the right thing. Nearly 30,000 cats & dogs have been spayed or neutered at Animal Coalition of Tampa’s low cost clinic. We owe our thanks to compassionate, generous people like you. Funds raised at Stride for Strays make the vision achievable. And how can anyone say no to these faces?
ACT is a licensed, 501(c)3 organization that was founded in 2001 with a mission to end killing as a means to control pet overpopulation in Hillsborough County. Managed by volunteers from the local community and staffed by experienced veterinary professionals, ACT makes the most of every dollar you donate.

506 Males Cats in 2 Days....
Pictures of the Neuter-a-thon
...Plus another 64 male dogs and female cats and dogs were fixed for prices ranging from $5 to $55 with help from the Doris Day and Humane Society of the United States.
"You should do this more often" says Linda Arlington, a caregiver who's heart outweighs her funds. "I have been watching my cat family grow because I could afford to fix to them".
And the winning of the Family Jewels contest (largest body parts removed at the Neurathon) goes to Jenny Jocvick, owner of Moose, a very aptly name, formally well-endowed tom. "Its good to know he won't be anyone else's daddy" say Jenny. "And the wines not bad either". Moose will be ridding himself of any pent up energy climbing his new scratching post and playing with his two new catnip balls.
Watch for more specials as we tune in to stop the killing in Hillsborough County.
Thanks to Lisa Prenail with Little Pet Project for taking wonderful pictures at the event!
