Heaven Can Wait Animal Society

Heaven Can Wait Animal Society is Las Vegas’s leading animal welfare nonprofit organization focusing on eliminating the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats. We focus on providing; high-quality, high-volume, affordable spay, neuter, and wellness services; and community outreach and education. Since their founding in 2000, HCW has provided spay, neuter, and vaccination services to over 200,000 cats and dogs. We estimate these efforts have kept well over half a million animals off the streets and out of shelters and rescues.

Heaven Can Wait’s Spay and Neuter Clinic treats an average of 1,000 dogs and cats a month, providing pets and community cats affordable, lifesaving spays, neuters, and vaccines. We are able to maintain the highest safety standards, operate with experienced and passionate veterinary staff, and keep prices affordable thanks to generous donor support. HCW is one of the only organizations in Las Vegas helping to control pet overpopulation and keep animals in homes where they’re loved.

There are an estimated 200,000 free-roaming cats in the Las Vegas Valley. HCW’s Community Cat Clinic serves those cats who have no access to care and may never even receive any in their lifetime. With the goal of ending community cat suffering and over-population, we work with volunteers and organizations that trap these cats so they can receive spay, neuter, and vaccine services along with lifesaving veterinary care for the many illnesses and wounds they present. We are the city’s primary resources for these community cat services.
