Our Story
Every great forest begins with a single seed and every movement begins with a single choice.
SNPT was born on a dirt road in Bali. Two days into her first trip, founder Jessica Cafaro spotted them, two tiny puppies lying in the middle of a deserted road, with no houses for miles. Barely four weeks old, ribs cutting through skin, bodies crawling with fleas. One dragged a limp leg; the other was too weak to lift its head. She scooped them into a cardboard box, clutched it on the back of a scooter, and rode for hours in the sweltering heat to the nearest rescue, praying they’d survive.
That rescue mission didn’t end on that road. From that day on, Jessica’s travels took her across the globe. In every country, she saw the same cycle repeating itself — stray dogs and cats multiplying, starving, and dying in the shadows. No matter the culture or the country, the story was the same, rescues trying their best, but drowning under the weight of endless need.
That moment seared a truth she could never unsee: animals were suffering everywhere, in silence, and most would never make it off that road.
When Jessica later moved to Bali, the heartbreak multiplied. Litters dumped in rivers. Skin eaten raw with mange. Dogs slowly dying to diseases that a simple vaccine could have prevented. She couldn’t turn away. She began rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and giving them the lives they deserved. But no matter how many she helped, countless more were left behind. Rescue alone was never going to be enough.
The clarity was undeniable: spay and neuter wasn’t just a solution, it was the solution. Fewer litters meant fewer deaths. The cycle of suffering could be stopped before it began. Prevention wasn’t just mercy for animals, it was relief for entire communities.
When Jessica moved back to California in 2019, the memory of that road in Bali never left her. She dedicated herself to animal welfare, working with rescue organizations and fostering dogs in need. Today, she is a puppy foster mom and volunteers at her local Humane Society, seeing firsthand how even in the United States, where resources are greater, the problem is the same: shelters overwhelmed, rescues stretched thin, and countless pregnant dogs and puppies abandoned or born into a world already flooded with animals, many of whom will never find a home.
Her journey, spanning Bali, the U.S., and beyond, made one thing clear: spay and neuter isn’t a local issue. It’s a global necessity.
SNPT was built on that truth. What began as one act of compassion has grown into a movement to bring life-saving sterilization where resources are scarce, rescues are drowning, and the suffering is greatest.
We don’t see spay and neuter as charity. It’s necessity.
The single most effective way to break the cycle. Protecting animals, future generations, strengthening communities, and giving struggling rescues a fighting chance. This is about more than saving lives. It’s about changing the future, restoring harmony, balance, and hope for animals and the people who live alongside them.
Rescue saves one life. Sterilization saves thousands.
