Florida Leaders in Lifesaving's mission is to unite shelters and clinics in a statewide mission to save the lives of dogs and cats in shelters, inspire collaborative action, and engage the hearts, hands, and minds of our communities so Florida serves as a national leader in lifesaving.
Seminole County Animal Services (SCAS) seeks to accept a grant of $75,000 from Florida Leaders in Lifesaving (FLIL) to provide spay/neuter surgeries to shelter cats. Specifically, these funds will be used to procure surgery supplies, provide contracted veterinary support to perform surgeries and to procure additional surgical instruments/equipment to perform surgeries.

SCAS will perform surgical sterilization as part of the shelter, neuter, and return (SNR) program. At an estimated average cost of $50.00 per surgery, SCAS will perform 1,500 spay/neuters for cats leaving the shelter.
