A Caribbean connection.
Caribbean Spay Neuter began, when we came to the realization, after many years of fostering and rescuing, that the only way we could end the vicious cycle of pet overpopulation, is to spay and neuter. Studies have shown that 1 female cat or dog, together with her mate and all their offspring can produce 67,000 puppies and kittens within 6 years.

MEGA Spay Neuter clinics are curbing the
tremendous animal over population
in the Caribbean
THE ONLY HUMANE WAY
Increasing the number animals finding
safe, healthy and loving forever Caribbean homes.
We conduct FREE Mega spay neuter clinics in the Caribbean, focused on dog and cat overpopulation. A tremendous overpopulation results animal suffering; abuse, neglect and cruelty. Many of the animal welfare organizations in the Caribbean send their adoptable pets to the USA and Canada, where shelters are already overflowing and many are considered high-kill shelters.

Why
The Challenges of Poverty
and Social Welfare in the Caribbean.
"The Caribbean’s small island economies face formidable challenges in dealing with globalisation, particularly in relation to the vital agricultural sector. Race, class and gender hierarchies of colonial domination have left a legacy of exclusion of the poor. Despite general improvements in living standards, poverty rates average 30 per cent of the Caribbean population. Social and human development indicators show that Barbados, Antigua-Barbuda and the Bahamas are doing better than Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica and Suriname. Plagued by political and economic problems, Haiti consistently scores lowest - GSDR Applied Knowledge Services.
How
Our impact on animal populations and their welfare.
-
Collaborations - Social development programs should involve non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) in information sharing, consultation, and decision-making at the local level.
-
Build infrastructure promoting sustainability in the spirit of growth and expansion in 2025 in hopes that 2020 DEA Covid Restrictions (Medications Schedule) will open back up a return to previous locations an increase outreach to new Caribbean locations.
