Help us save more pets in 2024
Gem City Vet is a nonprofit clinic created by Gem City Kitties to help Dayton, Ohio become a no-kill community. We opened on August 28th, 2021, and began offering low-cost wellness services, with the plans to add spay/neuter services as we grow.
Phase 1: Low-cost Wellness Services
In order to regroup and begin offering services quickly, we decided to open with limited hours and services initially. As we grow, we can expand our hours of operation as well as our programs. We are open Sunday and Monday and offer the following wellness services:

Phase 2: High Volume Spay/Neuter
We know spay/neuter services are the solution to ending overpopulation. Our goal is to add these services at our facility as soon as we can. Phase 2 expansion will include TNR services for community cats to further develop our TNR program.

The high interest rates will impact us significantly this fall, so we are seeking creative and proactive solutions so that we can keep running our programs efficiently and affordably in the present and for years to come. Every donation toward our $80,000 goal will help Gem City Kitties make the most out of every dollar and use our funds for creating a more compassionate community for cats and dogs in Dayton. |

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. In April of 2019, 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 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. In 2021, we'll open the clinic with wellness services first, then add high volume spay/neuter as we grow.
We appreciate your support.
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 1,200 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.
Since opening Gem City Vet, we've provided wellness care to over 5,000 cats and dogs in the Dayton area.
We're excited to expand our programs and hope you will join us. Donations of any size are appreciated.
