The Jacksonville Humane Society announced that it recently received a $25,000 grant to help pay for spay and neuter surgeries throughout the area.
Florida Animal Friend provides grants to animal organizations throughout the state, funded directly by its specialty “Spay & Neuter” license plate.
JHS said the new funding will specifically support its targeted Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, and Return (TNVR) efforts. The practice, which involves catching, sterilizing, and returning community cats to their original location, is used as a humane way of reducing overpopulation. JHS said the grant will allow it to perform an additional 625 such surgeries.
Other clinics in Northeast Florida are also receiving Florida Animal Friend’s support this year. Below are local organizations also listed as 2025 grant recipients.
