Soon it will be January 2023 and there are still ~600 million stray dogs and cats worldwide, waiting!  How can you find out more about ways to help reduce this population and prevent future suffering?

Since 2000 ACCD has advocated for progress in affordable non-surgical fertility controls and conducts programs to ensure that once approved, e.g., by the FDA, these non-surgical fertility controls can be implemented successfully.  Please subscribe to the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs newsletter here to receive their updates.  

Another organization, the Michelson Prize & Grants Program, MPG spearheaded by the ACCD, promotes scientific research through a $25 million prize and $50 million in grant funding to develop a single-dose, non-surgical sterilant for male and female cats and dogs. For the latest reseach on these promising new technologies, go to  this article and consult their website here.

In 2023 we will contact the pharmaceutical companies listed in our petition with our request for nonsurgical pet birth control products, and keep you updated on our progress.  We also hope to keep you abreast as new developments occur in other domains which may eventually help nonsurgical sterilization in cats and dogs:   - the red squirrel project in England  - male mice non-hormonal sterilization, which will also be tested on human males this winter, etc. We also hope to connect stakeholders with issues as they arise, with the stakeholders who have the possible solutions to these issues.

We are soon approaching the December 31, 2022, deadline for the petition. But, don’t worry, we will keep the petition going and going and going and going .… until every stray pet has access to nonsurgical contraception.
