Our Mission
Empowering our community to fight pet overpopulation through sustainable funding.
Who We Are
PawPrints Thrift Boutique is a unique retail destination in Chico, CA, run entirely by a passionate team of volunteers. We believe that shopping can be both stylish and impactful.
Since our inception, our primary goal has been to generate funds for local animal welfare initiatives. Every dollar of profit from our boutique goes directly to supporting spay and neuter programs, addressing the root cause of pet overpopulation and suffering.
Programs We Fund
P-SNAP
PawPrints Spay & Neuter Assistance Program
This program provides financial assistance to pet owners who need help affording spay and neuter surgeries for their pets. By removing the financial barrier, we ensure more pets live healthier lives and prevent unwanted litters.
Neighborhood Cat Advocates
A dedicated initiative focused on Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for feral and unowned cats. This program is crucial for stabilizing community cat populations and improving the welfare of cats living on our streets.
PawPrints Spay & Neuter Clinic
Opened March 2023
Our newest and most ambitious endeavor. This clinic was opened specifically to address the critical need for spaying and neutering feral and unowned cats in our region, filling a gap in local veterinary services.
