All working together to end pet homelessness, accidental litters and euthanasia.

ALTERED TAILS is a nonprofit SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC, offering services to all Pet Parents, Caregivers of Community Free-roaming/Stray/Feral Cats (TNR), and partner rescue orgs. Altered Tails provides affordable spay/neuter service to the public and owners who could not afford to do so otherwise, low cost vaccines and other vital services to owners of companion pets and rescue organizations, and helps reduce the number of feral cats living in our communities through our Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) program.

As we officially start National Veterinary Technician Week, we would like to take a moment to thank our AMAZING technicians who are there every day caring for the community's pets and thousands of feral kitties coming through our doors. ❤🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐾

This team goes above and beyond to carry pets to their owners' cars, monitor text messages on weekends/evenings, help unload/load feral cats into cars, and have given pets a ride home when it’s noticed that a pet owner has arrived by bus, bicycle, or on foot from afar in a non-ideal situation. But most of all, they show compassion for the animals. This team is highly experienced in working with spicy pets (dogs/cats), flat-nosed breeds, changing things up to accommodate any situation, and will do nearly anything for the animals - owned, rescued, and the beloved free-roaming cats.

To our Altered Tails technicians… THANK YOU - We are grateful for each of you and for this amazing team! 🙌 😍

We know that working with over 6,000 animals each year isn’t always wags and kisses (sometimes snaps and hisses 😂)… but know that you all are appreciated! 😻

*A shout out to our other relief staff and receptionists for the daily support of all things Altered Tails - their knowledge is just as critical and a piece of the entire Altered Tails puzzle!

It’s with complete and utter sadness that we share the news about our beloved Tina. On Tuesday, we lost an amazing team member, friend, and soul. Tina, Altered Tails clinic manager, has been a core member in our spay/neuter world for over 20 years. From starting as a technician to co-managing the old community outreach department at MCACC, to AT’s clinic manager (and a few other stints along the way). To say Tina was simply a great person is an understatement. She was one of the kindest people with a genuine heart of gold 💛 She really valued the ability to help people and their animals, and was so happy to do so. Tina was more than a co-worker to our team; she was a true friend and a piece of our little puzzle. Many of us have had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside Tina throughout her 20+ years in this field, and for that, we are grateful.

July 1st, we will be closed to allow all staff to attend her Celebration of Life.

We also want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and thank them for their generosity. This is from the FB post they shared earlier - “To further support her passion and continue her efforts, we encourage you to donate to Altered Tails, which was not only her place of work, but also her way of giving back to the community and animals that needed support. She cared immensely about this initiative.”

There is now a Tina Memorial Fund in her honor. Any donations will go towards her continued love of helping the animals and their people with those little extras that can’t be afforded.

If you would like to donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=2YLV8DHNGQEGG

We ask that you please keep her family in your prayers and thoughts. We also thank many of you working with us as we navigate these next few weeks. She was a wonderful friend, mother and more...We'll miss you, Tina! Thank you ❤
