Who are we?
We are a group of young cozumelenians & volunteers focused on reducing the overpopulation of dogs & cats in Cozumel.
How we do it?
-
CNVR method (Capture, Neuter, Vaccinate & Return).
-
Free sterilization for families pets.
-
Low cost clinic to prevent abandonment.
CNVR method
Once a week we go out to the streets to capture around 10 roaming dogs and/or cats.
We bring them to the clinic to get spayed/neutered.
During the recovery from anestesia we provide our patients with basic care treatments and procedures like nail clipping, ears and wounds cleaning, tick & flee preventives and vaccination for the main diseases including distemper and parvovirus.
After one or two nights of recovery at our clinic, most animals are returned to the exact place of capture, others are returned to their owners when found.
​
With your support and donations we will gradually increase the frequency of the captures and the amount of animals serviced in each of them.

Why we do CNVR?
​
By focusing on neutering the roaming animals we are making sure to spay and neuter the animals that have the higher risk of reproducing and having their offspring in the streets, continuing the cycle of overpopulation, neglect and misery.
We are convinced that this method will allow us to drastically reduce the growth of the population and the problems associated.
​
CNVR is not the only solution to dog/cat overpopulation, but it is an important part of the overall strategy.
​
The goal is to achieve
dog & cat population balance
All our work is funded entirely by voluntary donations from generous and passionate individuals like you who are convinced that through team work and compassion we can solve dog and cat overpopulation and the problems it brings to dogs, cats and our entire community. We thank you for your support.
