On June 19th, The Toby Project kicked off our current campaign with an event held at the home of Joy and Jack Fishman. Dr. Andrew Kaplan spoke about his vision of a city without a pet overpopulation problem and called on New Yorkers to take action by supporting The Toby Project. It was a great evening and a big success -- and brings us closer to our goal of getting our first spay/neuter van on the road.

Under the direction of Dr. Kaplan, City Veterinary Care provides a 75% discount to more than 30 recognized rescue organizations. These designated organizations receive approximately 24 appointments each week. The care given serves to prepare rescued dogs and cats for adoption by resolving health problems and performing spay/neuter surgeries.
Educating New Yorkers about this crisis from cause to solution is an integral part of The Toby Project mission. Contact us at fineman@tobyproject.org to arrange for a The Toby Project representative to speak to your group. Brochures are also available for your distribution. We are currently raising funds for our first mobile veterinary clinic.
The Toby Project is a non-profit organization working to end the killing of thousands of adoptable dogs and cats each year in New York City's animal shelters. We are the only organization in NYC whose sole mission is to address pet overpopulation at its inception by preventing the births of unwanted dogs and cats. Our goal is to spay/neuter the very animals who would otherwise directly perpetuate a vicious cycle of unwanted birth and unnecessary death, and make NYC a true "no-kill' community.
