Our Services

To promote the welfare of animals and keep families together, Concern for Animals (CFA) provides spay/neuter and medical care funding, pet food bank and rescue & adoption programs in the Thurston, Mason, and Lewis County area.
CFA is a volunteer-based organization with limited staff. We do our best to return phone calls in a timely manner. In order to receive any and all assistance, you must speak with the Programs Manager. You will not receive assistance after leaving a voicemail. Call-backs are done in the order in which they were received. The call-back schedule is listed under each program. 

Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Vouchers
Call Backs: Mondays & Thursdays 

CFA provides financial assistance to qualified pet owners that need to alter their pets but cannot afford the cost.  Low-cost spay/neuter procedures are available at local veterinary clinics recommended by CFA. Proof of low income, military, student or retirement status is required before authorizing veterinary services in Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties. After a voucher has been issued there is a 30 day grace period to redeem the voucher, after which the voucher is void. Please contact (360) 456-8176 for more information about spay/neuter assistance.

Medical Care
Call Backs:Weekdays 

CFA provides voucher assistance for medical care as available per grant funding. Proof of low income, military, student or retirement status is required before authorizing veterinary services in Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties. Please contact (360) 456-8176 for more information regarding medical financial assistance. Funding is not available for routine office visits, vaccines or rabies/feline leukemia testing. After a voucher has been issued there is a 7 day grace period to redeem the voucher, after which the voucher is void. CFA does not offer financial assistance for outstanding balances; animals in need of medical assistance vouchers must be spayed or neutered. Vouchers must be applied for prior to services rendered.

Pet Food Bank

CFA offers a free pet food bank for qualified pet owners on Tuesdays from 4p.m. to 5p.m. To receive pet food, owners must call (360) 456-8176 to sign up by the preceding Monday at 12 noon. Pet food is not given out unless owners have spoken with the Programs Manager. Pet owners must make arrangements to pick up food on Tuesday afternoons at the food bank. CFA is a non-profit organization and our ability to fund the animal food bank is subject to availability. CFA reserves the right to deny food bank assistance. We cannot guarantee pet food is available. In appropriate treatment to the CFA staff may result in termination of services. Thank you!   Click Here for our Food Bank Guidelines.

• It’s as easy as that!
