Make Dayton a No-Kill Community through
Low Cost Spay & Neuter
Gem City Vet is a nonprofit spay/neuter clinic created by Gem City Kitties to prevent pet overpopulation in Dayton, Ohio. We have purchased our facility but still need your help to raise funds for equipment and initial operations!
How To Give
Gem City Kitties is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and your donations are tax deductible.
Until recently in the US, millions of pets were killed each year in shelters simply because they didn’t have homes.
Through the hard work of nonprofits, government shelters, and millions of advocates and volunteers demanding change, we have seen a massive reduction and brought the number of deaths down to about 800,000 annually.
Nationally, many organizations are working together to reach "no-kill" by 2025, meaning that we aren’t killing any pets for lack of space and only euthanizing when it’s the best and most merciful choice for the animal. Ohio is well on its way to meet the 2025 goal but Montgomery County is behind the rest of the urban counties in Ohio.

Our animal welfare resources in Montgomery County are currently stretched beyond their abilities.Low cost spay and neuter services are provided through nonprofit shelters. These organizations are overwhelemed with vetting and placing homeless pets. This past April, the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center (ARC) ended all cat programs, placing even more strain on other nonprofit shelters. The existing organizations in the Dayton area are overworked, and all low-cost spay and neuter options fill up weeks in advance.

Dayton can be a no-kill community by 2025 by providing more spay and neuter surgeries for community cats & pets within low income families.
Gem City Kitties feels a high-volume spay and neuter clinic located in West Dayton is a vital part of the solution, by providing both easier access and faster appointment availability. We have begun the process to establish a high volume spay and neuter clinic, and we need your help to move forward so we can end unnecessary suffering of both dogs and cats in the Dayton Metro Area.
We need to raise funds for equipment and initial operations.
As a new, grassroots nonprofit, we’re able to work quickly and build our programs extremely efficiently.
Since opening in January of 2018, in partnership with Gem City Catfe, we have adopted over 300 cats to loving homes, educated thousands of Daytonians on best practices for cat care, and trained over 100 community members on how to help solve this problem at a local level.
We're excited to expand our programs and hope you will join us. Donations of any size are appreciated.
