YAAEC Spay/Neuter Clinic Project

Building 2A clinic proposal

YAAEC is developing a public-private partnership proposal for a community spay/neuter center in Building 2A, a county-owned building near the Yolo Animal Shelter that YAAEC reports was remodeled as a clinic and has been vacant since April 2025.

The proposal describes a sustainable operating model, conservative three-year financial projections, startup funding commitments of more than $250,000, a governance structure, and a mix of philanthropy, grants, veterinary partners, volunteers, and community support. These are YAAEC proposal details, not confirmation of an operating clinic or a county award.

YAAEC TNR Community Cat Pilot Project

Collect data. Plan together. Start with a pilot.

While work continues on a low-cost clinic, YAAEC is collecting information to better understand Yolo County’s feral and stray community-cat population and how a coordinated effort could reduce this vulnerable population.

1. Collect data: use a survey to understand the scope of community-cat colonies, caretakers, estimated numbers, and locations.
2. Secure a veterinary resource: identify a reliable low-cost spay/neuter provider.
3. Plan logistics: bring partners and volunteers together to choose a date, assess resources, and prepare before the next kitten season.
4. Choose a pilot location.
5. Debrief: identify what worked.
6. Broaden the effort countywide.

The survey may request sensitive location details. Do not post colony or caretaker information publicly.
