Pay To Spay, Inc Is Making A Difference To Save Lives And Reduce Pet Overpopulation


We would like to recognize Eve Crespin, Founder and President of Pay to Spay, Inc. a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in Gainesville, Florida.   Eve is an entrepreneur, interior decorator, community activist and environmental defender, but mostly she is a devoted animal lover making the world a better place for pets.  After working with rescues for over 20 years, Eve realized it would take a different approach in order to truly reduce, and eventually eliminate, the number of unwanted animals born each year, only to be killed in shelters.

Over the years, Eve had told her husband Bill that in lieu of birthday gifts she just wanted him to donate to animal charities. In 2016, he surprised her with the best birthday gift ever…a charity of her own. He had incorporated Pay to Spay, Inc. so that Eve could fulfill her dream of leading by example and walking the walk. Pay To Spay Inc is 100% funded by donations and proceeds go directly toward reducing fixing animals and reducing the pet overpopulation problem.  To read more about the wonderful difference Pay To Spay Inc is making to help animals, please click here.


We also wanted to share the story of how Eve became such a great kitty mom to over 20 fur babies and what brought her to Ask Ariel!

Our cats came to us many different ways. Mostly, when we lived in the Florida Keys for 14 years. I worked with rescue groups and was a foster failure. Also, some just showed up at our house, and others were dumped. When we moved to Gainesville, Florida, we brought our colony of 24 cats with us, because they are our family… I have been using the Ask Ariel Immune Support And Asthma Kit on several kitties now for awhile (along with other products). It has drastically helped with many issues. I found that when I took some of them off this on a daily basis they reverted back to being very sick and problematic. Once on this combo again for a month, they are clearing up.  Thanks for offering such amazing products. “

Spaying and Neutering Cats Saves Lives


In a recent study published in the Veterinary JournalDr. Julie Levy, a professor of shelter medicine at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, gave results of her program to reduce the number of sheltered (and euthanized) feral cats in a given area.

The target area was in Alachua County, where 2300 feral cats (54% of the estimated population) were trapped, sterilized and replaced back into their area. The number of cats taken into the local shelter fell by 70 percent and cats euthanized decreased by 95 percent. In the rest of the county, the number of sheltered cats also fell by 13 percent, an euthanasia decreased by 30 percent.  As an unexpected bonus, adoptions increased of these friendlier kittens and cats too.

Dr. Levy is also the director of Maddie's Fund (Maddie's Shelter Medical Fund) at the University of Florida. It is dedicated to "helping shelters achieve their life savings goals, training the shelter medical professionals of today and tomorrow, and developing new knowledge to enhance the well-being of sheltered animals"
