OUR PARTNERS

A number of organizations, groups, and individuals work tirelessly, usually with few resources, and donating many hours, to help sterilize dogs and cats, as well as to bring the animals comfort, love and safety, and address their medical needs. The board met with various people instrumental in these day-to-day efforts and learned about their history, their accomplishments, and their needs to sustain and expand their work. After listening to their stories and volunteering at their campaigns, Furry Tails of Oaxaca decided that funding their efforts in providing access to free sterilization for dogs and cats would best alleviate the suffering of street animals. The organizations are well run and managed, respected in their communities, provide jobs to local vets, and educate the people about the importance of sterilization and proper care of animals.

We are excited to partner with the following organizations!

GET TO KNOW OUR PARTNERS

Atrapas Gatos Oaxaca

Atrapa Gatos Oaxaca primarily traps feral or street cats and takes them to veterinarians or campaigns to get sterilized. Two women, Jazmin and Sandra, started Atrapa Gatos in 2019 and soon learned how great the need was to address the street cat population. People contact Atrapa Gatos Oaxaca via their Facebook page to inform them of cats in need of sterilization or medical care.

Huellas de Ayuda Oaxaca with Tanya Lapierre

Huellas de Ayuda Oaxaca – Footprints of Help Oaxaca – is an organization dedicated to promoting and managing the sterilization of dogs and cats as the only solution to stopping overpopulation and curbing animal abuse. Huellas has been rescuing and aiding animals in Oaxaca for over 25 years. Ydaliz Bautista and Paty Perez have been holding sterilization campaigns since 2007.

Teo Tails with Merry Foss

Teo Tails began in 2014 shortly after Merry Foss moved to Teotitlán del Valle and rescued a female dog from a pack of males continuously mounting her. Canela, ever grateful, is still with Merry. Merry started working with two young veterinarians who came weekly to her house to sterilize and care for the pueblo’s animals. There would often only be two or three animals, but slowly more people began bringing their pets.
