2003-2023 and beyond / SPANKY PROJECT CELEBRATES 20 AÑOS
Our work
Aid animals to build a better place for all living beings.
One world one health
Dedicated to promoting kindness towards animals, the Spanky Project is a place where information can be shared, resources can be found, and connections can be made for a better place for all the living beings.
What we do
The Spanky Project, authorized by the Cuban government, aids animals and their caregivers by offering mass sterilization clinics two to three times per year.
Our annual February World Spay Day week campañas now see us sterilizing over 500 dogs/cats.
During our February 2019 campaña we celebrated Havana’s 500th Anniversary with the goal of 500 sterilizations in one week. We blew past our goal with an amazing 628.
We had never done over 300 in a week. Frankly the Cubans did not think we could do it.
How we do it

How we do it
You may have asked…. “What do they do in Havana?” It all begins with a loving caregiver or a colony keeper. One who brings their cat to our campaña for sterilization. (We do dogs too!) Then we get to work:
