Cobden Spay/Neuter Coalition

Small group of volunteers focused on reducing animal over population in southern Illinois Scroll to the bottom for full service and price list. Bake sale?

The Spay/Neuter Task Force is open to all participants interested in combating animal over-population within the Cobden area via the humane method of castration. We have enlisted the help of local veterinary team, Dr. Ray Heinrichs and his wife Debbie, Union County Animal Control, Finding Forever Animal Rescue, Cobden Village Hall, CCBA, local police and private citizens for this purpose. We have

already begun this incredible effort and ask anyone interested to join us! The number one goal of the Spay/Neuter Task Force is to help Cobden residents get their pets fixed. With the understanding that spay and neuter surgeries are costly, we have created a voucher program for local residents to sponsor one half of the cost of spay and neuter surgeries performed by Dr. Heinrichs. We will offer a limited number of vouchers for spay and neuter surgeries. Our next goal is to address the stray and feral cat population within the Village. We will work with our partners safely remove and/or contain stray and feral cat populations. Please report stray and feral cats, and spread the word among your neighbors about this great opportunity. Contact us for assistance! Please do not harm cats! We will live trap for you. Stray and feral cats will be tested for Feline FIV and leukemia. Want to join the spay/neuter task force? There are several ways to get involved! We've raised funds for vouchers through a yard sale in fall 2016 and will host 2nd yard sale on Friday & Saturday, May 5 & 6. Seeking 6-10 volunteers to work sale shifts, and additional assistance with set-up and tear down. Also collecting items for upcoming sale. And, we could use storage space for these items. Estimated sale hours 8am-1pm

Can't donate items or help with the sale? That's okay, we'll have more opportunities to come. Or, get creative and come up with an initiative to raise money for our cause on your own. It could be as simple as decorating a coffee can for a local convenient store counter top, or elaborate as hosting an activity or game at a local community event. Spaghetti dinner or house concert? We're open to suggestions! Please join us in gaining control of our animal population in a sustainable way which we can be proud of. A healthy animal population is good for all. Thanks for your help. It takes a Village ~

We had a great meeting yesterday, with a good number of supporters showing up to talk cats! We’re gearing up for this Saturday’s Annabelle Festival in downtown Anna. Come check out our booth, purchase raffle tickets and learn more about our mission to help cats in Union County!

Yesterday, I got very organized and made about 12 subsidized surgery appointments… I believe I completed the circle and notified everybody with their appointment dates. If you’ve contacted us about a cat and haven’t heard back, reach out again, please. It’s pretty hectic but I think we’re in good shape.
Also, collected more donations for next Saturday’s(!) raffle at Annabelle Festival. Still need to iron out a few details and gather some donations but we’ll be selling tickets soon…and the prize package will be AMAZING!
Finally, Cobden Spay/Neuter Coalition has a meeting on Monday at 6pm at Kiki’s Coffeehouse in Anna. Come one and all…let’s talk about Annabelle Festival and of course—cats!

06/04/2026

Just for fun, what do you think is the most common cat name? In our experience, it’s Callie. We’ve fixed about 100 Callie’s!

We are very busy making subsidized surgery appointments for many community members, gathering donations for our upcoming raffle and conducting other cat-related activities.

Reach out if you have a cat(s) in need of spay/neuter surgery; if you’re feeding cats or if you wish to get involved! (Especially that last part…we’ve got the ball rolling, now help us keep up the momentum!)

Kitten season has inevitably caught up with us!

While these adorable little fluffballs are not currently in our care, we are working behind the scenes to help ensure they make it safely to rescue.

Right now, the priority is getting them up to a healthy weight before they can travel. We’ve supplied their caretakers with kitten food and are monitoring their progress.

Once they’re ready, we will need help with transportation! These tiny troublemakers will need a ride to rescue, and we’re hoping our amazing community can help make that happen.

As always, it takes a village to save lives. If you’re willing and able to assist with transport when the time comes, please reach out and let us know.

Stay tuned for updates on these precious babies as they continue to grow!

Awesome news: We are reprising our extremely popular Wine & Dine Union County raffle for this year’s Annabelle Festival on June 13! More details to come! 👀

We may be a little late in sharing the news, but we are absolutely elated to announce that the Cobden Spay & Neuter Coalition recently received an anonymous private donation of $1,000… AND an additional $1,000 donation from the City of Anna!

Community support like this is what keeps us going. Every dollar helps us continue reducing overpopulation, supporting caretakers, and getting more cats fixed throughout southern Illinois.

If you are feeding stray or feral cats, have barn cats, outdoor cats, or simply need assistance getting your pets fixed—please reach out to us. These donations directly help us continue providing resources and affordable spay/neuter assistance to our community.

To our anonymous donor, and to the City of Anna—thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the animals and communities we serve ❤️

This is what we’ve been talking about, folks — community collaboration at its finest!

A local woman recently took in two mama cats and gave them a safe place to have and raise their babies inside her home. Because of that kindness, we were able to get both moms — Raven & Karmel — along with their friendly tomcat buddy, Tiggs, spayed and neutered.

Now everyone is back home, safe and recovering from surgery! This is exactly how change happens: neighbors helping neighbors, people stepping up for animals in need, and communities working together to reduce suffering one cat at a time. ❤️🐾
