Reducing cat overpopulation and suffering through spay neuter in north Mississippi.
(662) 292-0922
To reduce cat suffering and overpopulation by offering low cost and sometimes no cost spay or neuter surgery (birth control surgery) for cats and kittens living with low-income folks, the disabled, and the poor in North Mississippi, as well as for feral (wild) cats.
If you have cats and are low-income, or are caring for feral cats, contact us to see if you qualify for this low-cost or perhaps free charitable care for your cat.
Founded in 1997, Homeless Animals Relief Project is a non-profit 501(c)3 charity that provides low-cost or free birth control surgery for cats living with the poor and for feral or community cats. Our goal is to reduce the number of unwanted and homeless cats, and their subsequent suffering. A volunteer group for over 25 years, we serve north and north central Mississippi. We receive no government funds and operate solely on gifts from donors, and grants from foundations.
Join our small army of volunteers to make a difference in a less fortunate cat's life. If you're at least 18, give us a call about volunteer opportunities. We have no paid staff so more volunteers are needed. Opportunities include helping with the phone, transporting cats to surgery, and trapping ferals (a brief online humane certification course is required if you'd like to become a trapper).
Visit our What's Up page to learn more about current events and opportunities at HARP.
At Homeless Animals Relief Project, we offer discounted and sometimes free spay/neuter services to cats living with the poor and to community cats or free roaming feral cats. As we don't operate a shelter or a rescue, nor do we own a veterinary clinic, we are unable to accept unwanted cats.
We follow professional recommendations for early age spay/neuter, and we can fix kittens at 8 weeks or 2 pounds. We encourage all owners to fix their cat before five months of age!
We focus on spay/neuter because it is sustainable, cost-effective, humane, and less expensive than trying to rescue our way out of cat overpopulation. The needle and thread of spay surgery prevents the use of a needle of a different kind. Spay one, save thousands!
Your donation provides spay/neuter surgery to less fortunate cats and will make a positive impact on animal and community welfare. Administrative costs are covered by a benefactor, so 100% of your gift goes to help cats. We're a small, grass roots effort to help cats, so your dollar goes far. We've no paid staff. Our supporting vets offer discounted surgery to our patients, and often provide other basic care and services at cost or no charge.

Started in 1997 with the help of donors and volunteers, Homeless Animals Relief Project has fixed thousands of pets living with the poor. This has stopped the reproduction, which means exponentially hundreds of thousands of homeless cats and their subsequent suffering are prevented. Plus it reduces disease transmission, trauma incidents, and increases owner satisfaction with the pet. Since low-income areas are where most of our country's pet overopulation originates and that's our target market, we are making a huge impact with each cat fixed. Spay/neuter one with your gift, save thousands!
If you have questions about our spay/neuter program, or would like to get in touch with us, call or text 662-292-0922. .

100% of profits from the sale of the book go to fund spay/neuter surgery for less fortunate cats. Buy a book; spay a cat!
In full color and nearly 200 pages, the book is packed with tales of hope and tips on how you can reduce animal suffering. In $5 for a Cat Head, you will:
