Mission Statement:
Spay Neuter Kingston Initiative’s mission is to facilitate ways to reduce and eventually eradicate pet overpopulation.
Pet overpopulation is a key factor of feral colonies in your community. Spaying and neutering your pets stops the cycle. To learn more about SNKI’s program with feral colonies click the links for our programs that include TNVR, Managed Colonies and don’t forget about our FAQ!
