On a bustling Saturday in Gainesville, Florida, the team at Operation Catnip pulled off an extraordinary feat: spaying and neutering 500 cats in a single day. The high-volume clinic, hosted at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, marked a major milestone—100,000 community cats fixed since the organization’s founding in 1998.

Ohio is at a breaking point when it comes to protecting dogs trapped in the abusive world of puppy mills. Despite clear laws meant to safeguard animal welfare, our state government continues to turn a blind eye to suffering—allowing breeders to perform painful surgeries, skip veterinary care, and profit off cruelty.

As the United Spay Alliance State Leader for Ohio, we’re proud to introduce a powerful new message we’re embracing across the country: Fix For Life.

At its core, this is more than a tagline—it’s a call to action. Because fixing isn’t just a procedure—it’s a promise. A promise of health, safety, and compassion for every animal in every community.
