Two Critical Funding Goals
These programs address affordability, public health, and the shelter crisis — all priorities for Mayor Mamdani’s platform.
Spay/Neuter Programs
Reducing shelter intake at the source. The ASPCA currently offers only 1,230 appointments/month — NYC needs 15,000/month to reach the critical mass where the outdoor cat population begins to decline.
Every $1 invested saves $3-$5 in shelter costs. That’s a 1,100% capacity gap.
Pet Food Pantry
Keeping families and pets together. 1 in 5 NYC pet owners struggle to afford pet food. A pet food pantry prevents heartbreaking surrenders to shelters and supports community affordability.
Cities with pet pantries see 30-40% fewer surrenders. Sheltering one animal costs $1,500-$3,000/year.
