Northwest Spay & Neuter Center (formerly Coalition: HUMAnE) is a non-profit organization providing spay/neuter, vaccines and microchipping for cats, dogs, and rabbits.  The center is open to anyone who wants to help decrease animal overpopulation in Washington State. The expert staff provides the highest level of personalized care for each animal, including stray and feral/free roaming cats, and performs an average of 60 surgeries a day.  

To promote and provide affordable, high-quality spay and neuter services for cats, dogs, and rabbits in an effort to stop the killing of animals due to overpopulation.

Since our inception in 2008, we have performed over 50,000 spay and neuter surgeries, so there is clearly a need for our services. By preventing the births of unwanted kittens and puppies through spay/neuter, the euthanasia rates of healthy cats and dogs in Pierce County have decreased by 75%.
