Tri-State Spay & Neuter is a registered nonprofit organization based in Ashland, Kentucky, dedicated to providing accessible, high-volume sterilization services to manage pet overpopulation across the Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia tri-state region. Operating out of a targeted surgical facility near the local Rural King, the clinic specializes in essential veterinary triage, offering low-cost spay and neuter packages that include surgery, pain management, tattooing, and critical Rabies and FVRCP vaccinations.

At the core of their community impact is a highly proactive Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) framework designed specifically to protect unowned, stray, and feral community cats. To ensure safety and support for neighborhood caretakers, the clinic mandates that community cats arrive in humane live traps, offers specialized outdoor recovery protocols (complete with protective ear-tipping and flea prevention), and coordinates unique placement initiatives like their Farm Living Ferals and Office Cat programs. Supported an official partner of the Best Friends Animal Society network, Tri-State Spay & Neuter relies wholly on volunteerism, public donations, and grassroots fundraising to eliminate preventable shelter intake and create a safer, more sustainable environment for regional felines.

Animals over profits: Unlike typical corporate chains, we are completely against selling animals — always, now, and forever.

You choose where 25% of the earnings goes: We believe in full transparency — we calculate this 25% before paying for any executive salaries or business overhead. By skipping the fancy corporate costs, we ensure the money actually lands where it belongs: with the animals.
