eComment: To the Honorable Members of the Fresno City Council, I am contacting you today to strongly advocate for expanded spay and neuter funding within the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 budget. Prioritizing spay and neuter services is a proven strategy for managing pet overpopulation and reducing the number of homeless animals entering our local shelters. By funding proactive prevention now, the City can significantly lower long-term taxpayer expenses related to emergency animal sheltering and public safety enforcement. I fully endorse Councilmember Annalisa Perea�€™s motion to bolster the spay and neuter budget and urge the City to implement a permanent, increased annual funding stream for these essential programs. Thank you for prioritizing animal welfare and fiscal responsibility in Fresno by supporting this funding increase.

eComment: Being a volunteer at our local TNR, fostering kittens I randomly find off the street, and trying to help my neighborhood and my friends fix the severe cat over population (and other issues which comes with that) I firmly believe that the budget needs to be expanded as much as possible. Just speaking for myself, living expenses and caring for my personal animals is demanding, so adding on the extra cost of fostering, and then trying to help with spay and neutering, it feels impossible. It seems to be one of the biggest reasons people don't want to help their area out with spay and neutering strays and abondon animals, because it's so costly. I believe, and not going off of opinion, but from talking to people, that having less of the financial burden placed on the trappers would entice more people to want to participate in our T.N.R program. I appreciate you reading my comment and taking my words into consideration :) Respectfully, Theresa

eComment: I do believe that operating very aggressive spay and neuter programs will do more to slake the flow of animals in the shelters than just collecting and euthanizing animals. It is less cruel to trap fix and then return feral cats to their homes. I fully support any public funds to help that cause. Thank you .

eComment: The budget for animal welfare needs to be expanded as much as possible. Innocent animals need our help, and private rescuers like myself desperately need more veterinarians offering affordable spay and neuter programs. We also need stronger accountability and stricter laws for irresponsible pet owners. The overpopulation of dogs and cats is not an animal problem�€”it's a human problem. Let's do better. Let's support rescues, promote spay and neuter programs, and help these innocent animals the best we can.

eComment: How is 1,800 spay/neuters supposed to make a dent in Fresno's overpopulation problem? We've spent many, many months, years, putting unaltered animals back where they were found without addressing the root cause through spay and neuter programs for community animals. 1,800 might help with maintenance, but maintenance alone won't solve the crisis. We need to get ahead of the problem, not keep spending resources reacting to it after the fact.
Please make spay and neuter more important until our city's overpopulation problem is under control.

eComment: This issue needs to be taken seriously. The stray animal population in Fresno is not hidden. It is visible in every part of the city. Drive down any road, through any neighborhood, and you will see dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens struggling to survive. This crisis is happening in plain sight. This is not just an animal welfare issue. It is a community issue, a public health issue, and a taxpayer issue. The City cannot continue to allow this problem to grow. Spay and neuter funding is one of the most effective ways to reduce the population humanely and prevent more animals from being born into suffering. Taxpayers deserve to see their money used for real solutions, not temporary responses after the crisis has already worsened. More needs to be invested in spay-and-neuter services. It's the only way to reduce suffering, reduce shelter intake, reduce euthanasia, and reduce the long-term burden on the city. Please prioritize additional funding for spay-and-neuter programs in this budget. Fresno needs action, accountability, and a real commitment to solving this crisis.

eComment: The overpopulation of cats and dogs in the Central Valley is a serious issue, and the City of Fresno can help address it by increasing funding for spay and neuter programs.
Supporting the organizations already doing this work will directly reduce shelter overcrowding and the tragic euthanasia that happens simply because there is no space. Preventing unwanted litters is far more effective�€”and far more humane�€”than trying to manage the problem after animals end up in shelters or on the streets. Unaltered pets often roam without food, water, or shelter, suffering through extreme heat and cold. Many residents want to help but cannot afford spay or neuter services. I�€™ve seen the need firsthand. In one night of trapping cats near Barstow and Fourth, we caught five unaltered females�€”one pregnant, four with previous litters. At a Memorial Day event, an entire apartment community begged for help because their complex was overwhelmed with cats. People are trying to do the right thing, but without accessible services, the problem grows out of control. More no�€‘cost or low�€‘cost spay and neuter options would empower communities, reduce suffering, and save the City money long�€‘term. Fix the problem at the beginning�€”not after shelters overflow and euthanasia becomes the only option.

eComment: To the Honorable Members of the Fresno City Council, I am contacting you today to strongly advocate for expanded spay and neuter funding within the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 budget. Prioritizing spay and neuter services is a proven strategy for managing pet overpopulation and reducing the number of homeless animals entering our local shelters. By funding proactive prevention now, the City can significantly lower long-term taxpayer expenses related to emergency animal sheltering and public safety enforcement. I fully endorse Councilmember Annalisa Perea�€™s motion to bolster the spay and neuter budget and urge the City to implement a permanent, increased annual funding stream for these essential programs. Thank you for prioritizing animal welfare and fiscal responsibility in Fresno by supporting this funding increase. Respectfully, Dawn Riffel View and Analyze eComments

Item: C. ID 26-799 ***RESOLUTION - Adopt the FY 2027 Annual Appropriation Resolution (Subject to Mayor's Veto)
eComment: To the Honorable Members of the Fresno City Council, I am contacting you today to strongly advocate for expanded spay and neuter funding within the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 budget. Prioritizing spay and neuter services is a proven strategy for managing pet overpopulation and reducing the number of homeless animals entering our local shelters. By funding proactive prevention now, the City can significantly lower long-term taxpayer expenses related to emergency animal sheltering and public safety enforcement. I fully endorse Councilmember Annalisa Perea�€™s motion to bolster the spay and neuter budget and urge the City to implement a permanent, increased annual funding stream for these essential programs. Thank you for prioritizing animal welfare and fiscal responsibility in Fresno by supporting this funding increase. Respectfully,

eComment: Please don�€™t turn your back on the urgent necessity for additional funding to help control the severe overpopulation of unwanted animals. Step into the local shelters and they�€™re ALWAYS at capacity and unable to take in strays. It�€™s heartbreaking is so many ways.

eComment: I appreciated hearing from the Director of the Fresno Animal Center and from the community several weeks ago. As a volunteer with a rescue, I see firsthand how urgently Fresno needs stronger spay and neuter programs. With the help of rescue and Fresno TNR, I have been able to trap, spay and neuter and stabilize the dumped, forgotten cats in the greenbelt behind my house along with fostering and caring for cats and kittens preparing for adoption. With matching support from partners like Dogwood, the impact of this investment grows even stronger. This is a moment where smart, compassionate action can create long�€‘term change. This is one of the most effective and humane ways to reduce stray populations, prevent injuries, and ease the burden on our shelters. When funding can be matched by partners like Dogwood, the impact is even greater. I respectfully ask for your support in increasing funding for Fresno�€™s spay and neuter programs so we can create a healthier, more sustainable future for our community and its animals.

eComment: Dear Fresno City Council Members, Thank you for your continued service to our community. I am writing to urge the City Council to increase funding and support for Trap- Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. As a volunteer with Fresno TNR, I have seen firsthand how TNR reduces homeless cat populations and improves outcomes for animals in our city. TNR is a humane, proven approach that stabilizes community cat populations, reduces shelter overcrowding, and saves taxpayer dollars by decreasing the number of animals entering shelters. Fresno continues to face challenges with stray and feral cat populations. Additional funding would allow Fresno Animal Center, local rescue groups, and TNR volunteers to increase spay and neuter services, provide vaccinations and basic medical care, and reduce shelter intake. By investing in these programs, the City can create a more effective and sustainable approach to managing Fresno�€™s homeless cat population. I respectfully ask the City Council to prioritize increased funding for TNR programs in the upcoming budget. Together, we can improve animal welfare and make Fresno a healthier, more compassionate community.
Sincerely, Cindy Curry Fresno Resident and Fresno TNR Volunteer View and Analyze eComments

eComment: This funding is needed to help save these animals lives. Many rescues including Fresno TNR actively work together to spay/neuter the stray animals and give them medical attention needed. Fosters also help to socialize and care for the ones they can to get them off the streets and in living homes.

eComment: I have experienced and witnessed 1st hand the cat/kitten population. Three months I have spent TNR, and watched many doing same. The budget funds must help this situation in our cities and counties, it�€™s humane for all animals to have TNR funding and or low costs to do. I have spent a month of social security payments to address helping feral community.
