Project Prevent-A-Litter (PAL)
Project PAL is an affordable spay/neuter program offered by Animal Allies to Spartanburg County and surrounding communities. Prevention is the key: By preventing unwanted litters from being born, we remove the need to euthanize them.
How it works:
1. Call our hotline at 864.576.6971 to set an appointment at our clinic. Animal Allies will answer all your questions, set your appointment, and call you with a reminder the day before your pet's surgery.
2. Do not feed your pet after 10:00 p.m. the night before the surgery.
3. Bring your pet to the clinic between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. the day of the surgery. You will be able to pick up your pet between 5:00 and 5:30 that same day.
4. Animal Allies requires pets to have proof of up-to-date shots, otherwise rabies and distemper shots will be given at the time of surgery for a small additional fee.
5. Your pet's surgery and shot fees are required to be paid at time of drop off if your appointment is at the clinic.

Project Ahead
Qualified volunteers make humane presentations at schools, clubs, and civic organizations. Spreading the word is another key to success at Animal Allies.

Feral Cat Program
Animal Allies recognizes that there are a substantial number of un-owned cats in our community, cats who were either born to abandoned mama cats, or cats who were dumped, left, or otherwise disposed of by their owners. Many kindhearted people “adopt” stray cats and provide food, water, shelter, and vet care, including spay/neuter, to their new companions. However, many of our county’s un-owned cats are feral cats, the “wild” offspring of domestic cats who are primarily the result of pet owners' abandonment or failure to spay and neuter their animals, allowing them to breed uncontrolled. Feral cats can be found behind shopping areas or businesses, in alleys, parks, abandoned buildings, and rural areas. They are elusive and do not trust humans, avoiding human contact. Consequently, they continue the breeding cycle, producing more and more feral cats.

Animal Allies provides assistance to people who are interested in helping these cats through a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program. We will lend our traps to catch feral cats, and make appointments for them to be spayed or neutered and receive their basic shots and/or testing. The caretakers will then return the cats to their locations, providing ongoing food, water, shelter, and vet care when possible.

We recognize that these caretakers are stepping in to solve a problem that our community has caused to exist, and we offer very reasonable spay/neuter/vaccination rates for feral cats. At the same time, we require strict adherence to “best practices” in feral cat care … clean feeding stations, some shelter, removal of food after feeding time, and basic vet care if possible. We require caretakers to keep records of their cats, and to spay/neuter all the cats they care for, and any newcomers that show up. Our goal in providing assistance to feral cat caretakers is to stop the cycle of breeding in their colony, while making a responsible effort to protect both the cats and our community.

Give us a call to help with feral cats in your neighborhood.
