By joining our Monthly Donor Program, you’re making a real difference — and we want to keep you in the loop. Each week, you’ll receive our exclusive behind-the-scenes update, usually written by our founder Rebecca, sharing what’s been happening at the foundation.

One-time gifts help. Monthly gifts change everything.

When you become a monthly donor, you’re not just giving — you’re building something sustainable. Here’s why that matters:

🔁 Consistency = Lifesaving Stability
Animals need help every single day. Monthly donations allow us to plan ahead, schedule sterilization events, buy medicine in bulk, and keep our project running.

📆 It Adds Up Quickly
You might not feel the difference between $10 or $20 a month — but for us, it adds up to vaccinations, surgeries, medicines, and fuel.
It’s not about how much, but how often.

🚫 Less Admin, More Action
Monthly giving reduces admin time and costs, meaning more of your money goes directly to helping animals.

🧡 You’re Part of the Team

Lots of people ask us why we release same day. 
And some don’t ask nicely either… accuse us of being cruel and heartless. 

1. Its standard protocol all over the world for high volume S&N to release same day. 

2. The numbers that we need to do in Thailand to even start making a dent in the control of the stray population means we can be doing over 100 per day – nobody has space to keep hundreds of dogs or cats overnight.
3. We wait until they are recovered from the anesthesia and are alert and mobile before we send back. 

4. Our doctors are highly trained and skilled at high Quality, High Volume Spay &Neuter (HQHVS&N) 

5. Our doctors make the smallest incision possible, usually 1-2 cm or smaller. (We have had people who work on spay and neuter from other countries exclaim how they can’t even see our doctors incision. )
6. We use dissolving sutures.
7. We use the “cosmetic” suturing technique, where the sutures are hidden under the skin, combined with dissolving suture material this means the wound heals quickly & is less irritating for the animal. 

8. Our doctors give importance to every step of the surgery, starting from the incision to open, through the surgery all the way until the wound is sutured closed.
9. All our doctors prioritize safety. Therefore, every step of the process is meticulous
10. Our doctors have very good suturing skills – with beautiful stitches that are not too tight, not too wrinkled, not rough, and without seams.
11. We also we use the technique of tying knots in each layer of stitches to separate them to prevent the wound from rupturing if the dog or cat chews on the wound.
12. All these techniques can help the surgical wound heal very quickly within a few days after surgery and reduce the chances of the wound rupturing.

Our philosophy is to treat each animal as if it were our own personal pet. 
Just because we do huge numbers doesn’t mean we compromise quality or care.

According to figures from PETA, our efforts have helped save or improve an estimated 2,411,683,000 animal lives.
