Since November of 2018, Pet Alliance’s Community Cat Initiative has helped more than 15,000 cats through a targeted Trap, Spay/Neuter, Vaccinate and Return (TNVR) program.  Through TNVR, entire colonies of community cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear tipped and then returned to their outdoor homes.  This effort seeks to ease the strain on local shelters by reducing the number of kittens born outside, as well as ensure the health and wellbeing of the community cat population.

Pet Alliance was founded in 1937 as the Orlando Humane Society.  Since then, the organization has worked hard to provide positive and safe outcomes for pets.  Today, Pet Alliance has a dedicated focus on the welfare and well-being of dogs and cats in Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties.  As the “go to” experts in Greater Orlando, they do good things for dogs and cats and the people who love them.  Their goal is to provide compassionate and knowledgeable services for pets and to be leaders in innovative animal care and veterinary medicine.  More than 4,000 surrendered pets and homeless animals turn to Pet Alliance for caring, compassion and hope through their shelters each year.  Pet Alliance provides food, medical care and shelter for dogs and cats until they find their new homes.  In addition to providing housing and care, Pet Alliance works to develop progressive and innovative programs that help keep pets and people together.  Pet Alliance also provides low-cost spay/neuter surgeries and animal wellness through their public veterinary clinics.  Their shelter programs are supported entirely by donations from the community they serve.
