Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project - Feral Cats

Working towards the day there are no more homeless pets!

Maddie’s Fund, the Pet Rescue Foundation, is a family foundation established to help fund
the creation of a no-kill nation where all healthy and treatable shelter dogs and cats are
guaranteed a loving home. Dave and Cheryl Duffield created Maddie’s Fund in memory of
their beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie (watch Maddie's movie). Maddie passed away in
1997, but thanks to this one little dog, abandoned shelter animals have new opportunities to
find loving homes in which they, too, may share in the joy and love that Dave and Cheryl
enjoyed with Maddie.

The Maddie’s Pet Rescue Project in Erie County is a monumental endeavor by a coalition of
animal welfare agencies working to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. The
five-year project began on October 1, 2009. By September of 2014, Erie County will be a
community where every healthy or treatable dog or cat is guaranteed a home. Coalition
members include:

Black Dog, Second Chance
Buffalo Humane
City of Buffalo Animal Shelter
HEART Animal Rescue & Adoption Team
Operation PETS Spay Neuter Clinic of WNY Inc.
Second Chance Sheltering Network
SPCA Serving Erie County (lead agency for project)
Ten Lives Club

Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project for Feral Cats

Part of the funding that Maddie's Fund awarded is to assist with the expense of
spaying/neutering feral cats. The Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project is dedicated to ending the
feral cat overpopulation crisis in Erie County. Low-cost spay/neuter surgeries are available to
Erie County residents who manage feral cat colonies.

The Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project is administered by Operation PETS - The Spay/Neuter
Clinic of WNY. Nine private practice veterinary hospitals also participate. (list of Maddie's
