Support Starfish Animal Rescue's Mobile Vet Unit

Help Starfish Animal Rescue Continue Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Clinics for  Breathitt, Letcher, Knott and Perry Counties in Kentucky!

At Starfish Animal Rescue, we believe that saving one animal may not change the world, but it changes the world for that one animal. Every day, we work to make a difference in the lives of animals in the Southeast Kentucky Area — a region where access to affordable veterinary care is often limited or nonexistent.

We’re raising funds to purchase a Mobile Veterinary Vehicle that will allow us to continue low-cost spay and neuter services directly to these underserved communities. We are in danger of discontinuing our Hip to Snip program due to new regulations regarding licensing clinics. A mobile veterinary vehicle solves our licensing problem and will help us reduce pet overpopulation to combat the number of animals in the shelter, prevent needless suffering, and support responsible pet ownership in rural areas that need it most.

Why a Mobile Vet Vehicle?

• Many pet owners in this region face financial barriers to accessing care. The Banfield Grant that we have obtained enables residents to pay only $15 or $20 for a spay or neuter in Breathitt, Letcher, Knott and Perry Counties of Kentucky.

• Spay and neuter services are crucial to controlling stray and unwanted animal populations.

• A mobile clinic solves the problem of new government regulations on Spay and Neuter Clinic locations going into effect July 1,2025.

How You Can Help:

Your donation will go directly toward the purchase and operation of our mobile vet unit. Whether it’s $50 or $500, every contribution gets us closer to our goal and helps save countless lives.

If you’ve ever adopted, fostered or rescued a Starfish dog or cat, it likely came from this region. We could use your help so we can decrease the number of animals that don’t get rescued and enjoy the life that your beloved pet lives! Together, we can make a lasting impact — one spay, one neuter, one rescue at a time.

Thank you for supporting Starfish Animal Rescue. Let’s drive change — literally!
