Brevard Humane Society received a $25,000 grant from Florida Animal Friend, Inc., an organization whose mission is to help end pet overpopulation. Brevard Humane Society will utilize the grant by focusing its efforts on vital spay/neuter surgeries for low-income families and the community cats in Brevard County.

Spay/neuter appointments will be available beginning Monday, October 15. Funds will be awarded to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-serve basis until they are exhausted.

“This award from Florida Animal Friend goes straight to the heart of our mission to reduce the homeless animal population in this area through proactive spay/neuter programs,” said Theresa Clifton, Executive Director for the Brevard Humane Society. “Brevard Humane Society’s mission is to humanely end a cat's ability to reproduce, improve its quality of life, and assist the citizens who serve as caregivers.”

Brevard County residents should call the Humane Society’s Low Cost Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic at 321-636-3343 ext. 206 to schedule a spay/neuter appointment
