About Voices for Animals
Voices for Animals is a grassroots, all-volunteer, animal
rights organization founded in 1984 and based in Charlottesville,
Virginia. Our mission
is to reduce animal suffering of all kinds through public
education, political advocacy, and direct action. We welcome
your interest and support!
Voices for Animals coordinates a wide range of activities
throughout the year. Among our ongoing activities are the
Charlottesville Vegetarian Festival, which celebrated
its 11th year last September, and the Feral
Cat Spay/Neuter Project using the trap/neuter/return (TNR)
method of feral cat population control. We also organize tablings,
letter-writing campaigns, speaking engagements, and demonstrations,
doing all we can to promote a more compassionate society.
For more information on our activities, call us at 434-979-1200
or e-mail us at

Charlottesville Vegetarian Festival
Each year, the Charlottesville Vegetarian Festival educates
thousands of people on the benefits of humane eating—for our
health, our planet, and the animals. The
2007 festival was a huge success, with more than 6,000 people
attending.
If you’d like to become more involved in this dynamic community
event, please e-mail volunteer@cvillevegfest.org. For more
information on the festival, visit
www.cvillevegfest.org.
Since
2005, we've coordinated 14 free spay/neuter clinics,
in which hundreds of cats have been sterilized,
vaccinated, dewormed, and given other medical
care at no charge to their caretakers.

Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project
Since 1997, Voices for Animals has been operating the area’s
only spay/neuter/vaccination program for feral cats. Our program
allows these cats to live healthier, safer lives and helps
reduce feline overpopulation in our community. For more information
about the Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project and a list of upcoming
spay/neuter clinics and trap loan/return and training dates

Our
Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project promotes the trap-neuter-return
model—a nonlethal and humane solution for feline
overpopulation.
