Spay & Neuter Clinic

Betty Cardoni launched Mercy Crusade in 1949.

The organization's major goal was to help people in Los Angeles afford to spay and neuter their cats and dogs. Betty witnessed the senseless suffering and death of hundreds of companion animals who were either living on the streets or being surrendered to local shelters by their owners. She set out to make a difference after witnessing the pain, and she succeeded.
