EMERGENCY VET CARE Lakeside Friends of the animals helps low-income Mexican nationals pay for emergency veterinary care for their cats and dogs. Pet owners pay whatever they can and the balance is covered by funds from LFA donations. In these cases, the veterinarian often makes a significant reduction in the bill.

SPAY & NEUTER SURGERIES
We sponsor 100 cat and dog sterilizations every month for low-income pet owners. Participating lakeside vets offer reduced prices to LFA for their services.

FOOD FOR RESCUED ANIMALS
Rescued animals need to eat so Lakeside Friends of the Animals provides food to animal rescue groups that otherwise would not be able to feed for the animals they rescue.

FELINE LEUKEMIA TESTING
Twenty-five percent of cats brought to shelters in the Lake Chapala area test positive for feline leukemia (compared to 2-3 percent in the United States). By identifying infected cats and kittens, shelters can prevent the spread of this fatal disease to healthy shelter populations.

 

YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK: LFA sponsors 115 spay and neuter surgeries every month
