As of the site's current content, the most recent featured item is The Fix — Spring 2026 Newsletter, alongside the Spring 2025 Newsletter and the Happy Tails 2025 annual ball.

Recent Newsletters
CACF publishes newsletters that report on its work and the work of the Sandhills Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic.
The Fix — Spring 2026 Newsletter
This is the featured item on the site. According to CACF, every sterilization surgery changes the future for animals in the community. The newsletter describes how supporter contributions help:
- Prevent unwanted litters
- Reduce euthanasia
- Keep pets healthy and in loving homes across 13 North Carolina counties
Spring 2025 Newsletter
This edition covers recent happenings at both the Sandhills Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic and CACF. It is a way to see what the clinic and foundation have been working on during that period.
Annual Event: Happy Tails Ball
CACF's Annual Happy Tails Ball kicks off on October 1. The foundation describes it as the most "forgettable" event of the season — a playful framing that centers on making a donation to CACF rather than attending a traditional gala. If you want to support CACF's mission, this is the recurring annual moment the organization highlights.
What the Updates Are Really About
The newsletters and event updates all point back to CACF's core work. The foundation states that since 2005 it has helped spay and neuter over 100,000 animals, working to reduce unwanted litters and eliminate the euthanasia of abandoned dogs and cats in central North Carolina. It does this by enabling affordable spay and neuter surgeries at the Sandhills Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic.
The context CACF provides for this work:
| Point | Detail from CACF |
|---|---|
| State ranking | North Carolina ranks third in euthanasia of unwanted dogs and cats, after California and Texas |
| Shelter intake | Over 100,000 dogs and cats entered North Carolina animal shelters in 2021 |
| Euthanasia | 30,000 were euthanized |
| CACF's position | Sterilization surgery is the most effective and humane way to keep unwanted pets out of shelters |
