What it does
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is dedicated to ending animal homelessness and providing care and comfort for companion animals in need. Our vision is "Leading the way because every life counts". In 2025, we saved 10,631 animals.
Shelter/Adoption Center - Services include sheltering strays and previously owned animals, preventative medical care, treatment of illness & injury, pet microchipping, spay/neuter surgery of all animals prior to adoption by pet owners in the community. We saved 10,631 homeless animals in 2025.
Animal Hospital - Provides affordable veterinary care for owned pets. Services include spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, x-rays, wellness care, heartworm treatment, and specialty surgeries. Affordable health care helps owners keep their pets rather than relinquish them to shelters. We treated approximately 45,000 owned pets in 2025.
Community Cats - This program utilizes Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return (TNVR) which is a humane method to sterilize and vaccinate feral/community cats and return them to their homes. TNVR is a proven method to keep these cats healthy, control cat populations, and reduce feline euthanasia in our community. We sterilized, vaccinated, and released 3,432 cats through the TNVR program in 2025.
