All-volunteer nonprofit providing free spay/neuter, help with vet care, pet food pantry, neighborhood water bowls, and more in King William, Lavaca, and surrounding south San Antonio neighborhoods. Our Spay/Neuter Reimbursement Program reimburses neighborhood pet owners for having their pets spayed or neutered. We also reimburse residents for the a variety of pet healthcare services including the
the cost of vaccinations, heartworm testing for dogs, etc. We loan humane traps to residents and business owners and their employees, as well as offer assistance and advice on the TNR (trap, neuter, return) method of controlling community cat populations. With TNR, cats are spayed or neutered, receive vaccinations, and their left ear is “tipped” to mark them as sterilized. Our free Community Cat Carpool program shuttles groups of neighborhood cats to and from spay/neuter clinics. Cannolicare provides financial assistance to King William and Lavaca residents and those who find an animal within our service area to help pay for critical vet care for cats and dogs in their care. Types of medical care include basic vet care as well as illnesses with a positive prognosis. We have a microchip scanner to check a stray dog or cat for a microchip, and, if so, we help with locating the registered owner. Cannoli’s Kitchen provides free monthly delivery of pet food to neighbors who are caring for animals, often managed colonies of sterilized community cats. Cannoli’s Canteen provides neighbors with colorful water bowls to place along the sidewalk so that passing dogs and cats have frequent access to water.
