The Cat's Meow Thrift Store (est. 1994) is a nonprofit that provides funding for Noah's Ark Animal Shelter's Spay/Neuter Assistance Program and Feral Cat Program. It is staffed by volunteers and welcomes anyone who wants to donate their time or unwanted items. Items may be dropped off at the back door in the alley at the back of the store during store hours.

Please do not leave donations unattended outside when the store is closed. We appreciate all donations; however, there has been an unfortunate issue with unattended items being stolen, vandalized, or strewn throughout the alley resulting in a serious littering problem for all of the businesses in the area.

Spay/Neuter Certificates

Noah's Ark Spay/Neuter Assistance Program issues certificates to help with the cost of spay/neuter surgeries for companion animals in Carlsbad and Southern Eddy County (Loving, Otis, Malaga, unincorporated Eddy County). The certificates may be redeemed at all local Carlsbad veterinary clinics, and will cover the basic cost of spay/neuter surgery for companion dogs and cats, including any surgical complications at the time of surgery, animals in estrus, pregnant, cryptorchid, etc.

Any additional procedures, medications, and/or vaccinations requested at the time of surgery will be the owner's responsibility and are not covered under the program.
Spay/Neuter Certificates are available at:

While we do not require proof of income, the program is intended to help people for whom the cost of spay/neuter surgery presents a financial hardship. A $20 donation is requested per certificate to help with our $250,000+ yearly vet expenses, however no one is turned away for inability to donate.
