Increase the spay-and-neuter funding for the 26-27 budget and future years to come if you want my support. Animal overpopulation and neglect in Fresno is shameful and it is 100% on the city to solve by funding cheap or free spay/neuter and TNR services.
Please increase funding for spay and neuter programs. We must prevent the rising number of kittens and puppies being born only to suffer and face euthanasia. It’s crucial that we advocate for them and work towards a healthier, more compassionate community.
The stray animal population in Fresno is not hidden. It is visible in every part of the city. Drive down any road, through any neighborhood, and you will see dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens struggling to survive. This crisis is happening in plain sight.
This is not just an animal welfare issue. It is a community issue, a public health issue, and a taxpayer issue.
The City cannot continue to allow this problem to grow. Spay and neuter funding is one of the most effective ways to reduce the population humanely and prevent more animals from being born into suffering.
Taxpayers deserve to see their money used for real solutions, not temporary responses after the crisis has already worsened. More needs to be invested in spay-and-neuter services. It's the only way to reduce suffering, reduce shelter intake, reduce euthanasia, and reduce the long-term burden on the city.
Please prioritize additional funding for spay-and-neuter programs in this budget. Fresno needs action, accountability, and a real commitment to solving this crisis.
How is 1,800 spay/neuters supposed to make a dent in Fresno's overpopulation problem? We've spent many, many months, years, putting unaltered animals back where they were found without addressing the root cause through spay and neuter programs for community animals. 1,800 might help with maintenance, but maintenance alone won't solve the crisis. We need to get ahead of the problem, not keep spending resources reacting to it after the fact.
Please make spay and neuter more important until our city's overpopulation problem is under control.

Please increase the budget for dogs & cats to be spayed & neuter. There's so many of them on our streets & its only going to multiply if somethings not done.
Please increase the budget for the spay and neuter program. Our city is in desperate need and the resources do not currently match the need. The non profits work as diligently as they can but struggle with the financial aspect of keeping strays spayed and neutered. Thank you.
The budget for animal welfare needs to be expanded as much as possible.
Innocent animals need our help, and private rescuers like myself desperately need more veterinarians offering affordable spay and neuter programs.
We also need stronger accountability and stricter laws for irresponsible pet owners.
The overpopulation of dogs and cats is not an animal problem—it's a human problem.
Let's do better. Let's support rescues, promote spay and neuter programs, and help these innocent animals the best we can.
I support! I'm disabled but am a trapper n promise to continue trapping, spay neuter and TNR! Please approve we need help please help us change the innocent lives in our city!!
I do believe that operating very aggressive spay and neuter programs will do more to slake the flow of animals in the
shelters than just collecting and euthanizing animals. It is less cruel to trap fix and then return feral cats to their homes.
I fully support any public funds to help that cause. Thank you .
Being a volunteer at our local TNR, fostering kittens I randomly find off the street, and trying to help my neighborhood and my friends fix the severe cat over population (and other issues which comes with that) I firmly believe that the budget needs to be expanded as much as possible. Just speaking for myself, living expenses and caring for my personal animals is demanding, so adding on the extra cost of fostering, and then trying to help with spay and neutering, it feels impossible. It seems to be one of the biggest reasons people don't want to help their area out with spay and neutering strays and abondon animals, because it's so costly.
I believe, and not going off of opinion, but from talking to people, that having less of the financial burden placed on the trappers would entice more people to want to participate in our T.N.R program.
I appreciate you reading my comment and taking my words into consideration :)
To the Honorable Members of the Fresno City Council,
I am contacting you today to strongly advocate for expanded spay and neuter funding within the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.
Prioritizing spay and neuter services is a proven strategy for managing pet overpopulation and reducing the number of homeless animals entering our local shelters. By funding proactive prevention now, the City can significantly lower long-term taxpayer expenses related to emergency animal sheltering and public safety enforcement.
I fully endorse Councilmember Annalisa Perea’s motion to bolster the spay and neuter budget and urge the City to implement a permanent, increased annual funding stream for these essential programs.
Thank you for prioritizing animal welfare and fiscal responsibility in Fresno by supporting this funding increase. This is the only ethical way to clear the shelters.

This should be a no brainer! Our city is drowning in dog/cat overpopulation. And we need tough laws on irresponsible pet owners. The city needs to step up and get something done about this.
