January 2026 Update

Our work is guided by a simple truth: compassion for animals is inseparable from compassion for people. In a time when many in our communities are bearing witness to pain and sheltering for safety, building networks of practical care feels more vital than ever. We funded 159 spay/neuter surgeries this month, and are committed to keeping the energy up and remaining steadfast in supporting our neighbors and communities.

Here’s what your support made possible in January:

In Mexico:

  • Playa del Carmen: 65 spay/neuter surgeries performed at our weekly, free clinics with Coco’s Animal Welfare
  • Atlatlahucan, Morelos: 30 spay/neuter surgeries for owned and street animals with Rocco’s Relief Foundation
  • Mexico City: 18 cats spay/neutered (of a 30-cat goal) on one block, in partnership with local caregivers & Dr. Rod.

In Minnesota:

  • TNR: 46 community cats were successfully spayed/neutered and returned to their colonies
  • Community Support: We continued to deliver cat food, litter, and essential groceries to caregivers sheltering in place due to safety concerns.
