INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Operation Indy Animals has received a $50,000 grant to expand affordable spay and neuter services for pet owners in underserved areas of Indianapolis.
The funding, provided by the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, will help OIA to provide spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and microchipping for an estimated 144 dogs and 67 cats over the next year, helping to reduce pet overpopulation and ease the burden on local shelters.
“We are deeply grateful to the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust for their dedication to animal welfare,” said Darcie Kurtz, co-chair of Operation Indy Animals. “This funding allows us to reach more families and make a lasting impact on the lives of animals and the people who love them.”
Procedures can be scheduled through partners including FIDO Indy and Indy Neighborhood Cats at three veterinary clinics, including:
- IndyHumane Downtown Clinic
- FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic
- West Michigan Street Veterinary Clinic
Those in need of assistance can visit OIA’s website for income eligibility information and application forms.
