United Spay Alliance Empowers People and Programs To Increase Spay Accessibility

ANYWHERE, USA (October 14th, 2025) — United Spay Alliance, in partnership with The Community Cats Podcast, co-hosted the fourth annual United Spay Alliance Online Conference on October 11-12, 2025. The event welcomed 388 registered participants, including veterinary professionals, clinic teams, animal shelter and rescue staff, volunteers, and people passionate about making spay/neuter services more affordable and accessible in their communities. 

The conference featured expert presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities for attendees. Speakers included Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation and Deborah Cribbs, Founder and Leader of Give Them Ten. The event was made possible through generous support from Feline Fix by Five, the Joanie Bernard Foundation, and other sponsors. 

The conference made a powerful impact. Nearly 400 people came together to learn from leading experts and build authentic connections grounded in passionate advocacy for proactive prevention.

Designed to move participants from inspiration to action, the event equipped attendees with practical, immediately applicable skills — and with a strong, growing network of peers committed to expanding access to spay/neuter nationwide.

“We were thrilled to see nearly 400 practitioners, advocates, and partners show up with such passion for prevention,” said Brianna Lovell Myers, Executive Director of United Spay Alliance. “It’s a reminder that change is possible — and it’s happening right now. We’re proud to help fuel that momentum.”
