Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode

Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing our community with services and programs that help eliminate pet overpopulation and reduce the euthanasia of adoptable animals.

Established in 1994, Animal Outreach serves over 6,000 cats and dogs each year via our low cost spay/neuter clinic. Animal Outreach is the only organization in El Dorado County to offer free spays and neuters for community cats through our sponsored Free Feral Day once per month.  

In addition, we also manage adoption and foster programs that allow us to find homes for special need cats/ kittens, barn cats and many others.

We are proud to have accomplished the following in 2024:

941 - Canine spays/neuters
6,183 - Feline spays/neuters
1,338 - Feline intakes
1,264 - Feline adoptions

533 community cats benefitted from our free monthly community cat spay/neuter/vaccinate days. 

We expect those numbers to be even greater this year! Generous support from individuals like you allow us to continue serving the animals in our community.
