The mission of the Massachusetts Animal Fund (MAF) is to end animal homelessness in the state and to support local animals in need. The Fund accomplishes this by:
- Offsetting the costs of vaccination, spaying, and neutering of homeless cats and dogs, as well as pets owned by low-income residents;
- Assisting with the training of animal control officers to create uniform enforcement of animal control laws.
MRFRS is proud to be one of the many organizations that partner with the Fund as we bring access to spay/neuter surgery through our Catmobile program for residents who have MAF vouchers.
The work done by MAF is primarily funded by the voluntary tax check off (Line 33F) on the Massachusetts resident income tax form. When you sit down to do your 2025 taxes, please take a minute to help animals in our state by going to line 33F. It’s an easy way to positively impact the health of cats and dogs in Massachusetts!
