The mission of Pet Prevent a Litter (PALS) of Central Texas, a non-profit organization, is to help end pet overpopulation and pet homelessness. PALS is dedicated to promoting responsible pet care through community education and spay/neuter programs for those in need. PALS provides a human service by assisting economically challenged people to extend their limited resources to their families, rather than caring for and feeding unwanted pets. We provide spay/neuter services to stop litters of unwanted surplus pets which would likely end up in shelters to be destroyed.
When we moved here, we were surprised to find so many wilds cats living in San Marcos. As I’ve increasingly tried to help – by catching kittens and their moms and finding homes for them – PALS has been a tremendous help. They have helped me learn about trapping, pay for spaying and neutering, and fostering kittens. Together with PALS I was able to trap and find homes for 13 kittens last year.

Thank you for all that you do, and for the services PALS offers. Prevention is paramount in the quest to lessen the number of strays on the streets. Without the voucher I would not have been able to pay for the blood test in addition to the surgery. Thank you again.

Your help has given my dogs and I the opportunity to have them spayed with no more worries or stress and allows us to help make a difference. Thank you, PALS!

Thank you so much. We had a pregnant cat adopt us and we were able to get her and her kittens fixed because of you.

Now my dog is able to calmly live her life, without being in heat. She still has a rambunctious personality, but she doesn’t try to slip out the door to find a mate.

PALS is a gem for our community! Thank you for what y’all do!

About Pet Prevent A Litter (PALS) of Central Texas
Originally formed as an animal welfare (501(c)(3) charitable organization in 1990 by a group of volunteers united to help reduce pet overpopulation. We reorganized in 2003; PALS expanded the mission, programs and geographic outreach in support of the No Kill Initiative.
PALS endorses Trap Neuter Return Maintain as the only humane option for managing free-roaming, unowned cats, and supports volunteers in PALS TNRM through training advocacy and community outreach. Cats and kittens rescued from the streets are available for adoption.
The PALS’ spay/neuter Cat Clinic at 215 West San Antonio Street started as a mobile animal surgical hospital in 2010.
Today we offer spay/neuter assistance across our region.
