Spay Today 2026 Calendar Fundraiser

Spay Today, in partnership with Crimson Cat Studios, is happy to announce its 2026 SNIP HAPPENS Calendar! Proceeds from the photo contest and sale of the calendar will assist Spay Today with providing low-cost spay/neuter and vaccine services, and enable them to continue to connect with individuals and families who otherwise would not be able to obtain basic vet care for their pets and provide no-cost and low-cost basic vet care.

We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your pets and ask your family and friends to vote for them. Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Fees for photo entries and votes will help Spay Today continue their efforts with their mission.

About Us

Serving Pets Since 2009

At SpayToday we believe in the human/animal bond and value of every pet's life, honoring the unconditional love and happiness they bring to our lives.

We are a 501c3, non-profit vet clinic in Lakewood, Colorado that offers low-cost and no-cost essential vet care services for pets in the Denver Metro and surrounding areas. Our goal is to connect with individuals and families who otherwise would not be able to obtain basic vet care for their pets and provide no-cost and low-cost basic vet care.

We are not a full-service veterinary practice. We offer a limited range of services that include spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, and microchips.

Since 2009, SpayToday has performed more than 100,000 successful spay/neuter surgeries. A pet's access to basic veterinary care should not be based solely on the size of their family's pocketbook. If you or someone you know is in need – we are here to help!
