Pet Community Center Inc

Community cats are outdoor, free-roaming cats who thrive in the community. Our community cat program works with a team of community members who care for outdoor, free-roaming cats to trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate, and return them to their territories, ensuring they can maintain their best physical condition in their own environment. Pet community center's community cat program provides resources and medical services to humanely reduce overpopulation, improve the quality of life of community cats, and ensure good health for their sake and for that of their neighbors. In 2024, we spayed/neutered 2,727 community cats.

Our community outreach programs include the food security program and pets for life program. Pets for life transforms the lives of animals by serving people and pets in underserved areas and bringing awareness to systemic inequities and injustices that contribute to pet homelessness. The program provides free spay/neuter services, wellness care, pet supplies, transportation support, and resources to pet owners who statistically have the least access to affordable veterinary care and supplies. In 2024, pcc served 349 dogs and cats living in its pets for life service area, providing 3,011 subsidized services, surgeries, and medications. The food security program distributes pet food directly to our clients most in need. The program also partners with metro animal care and control, second harvest food bank of middle tennessee, the martha o'bryan center, and st. Luke's community house to provide food for pet owners in need throughout our community. In 2024, 2,911 clients were served, and 169689 meals were distributed.
