A Word from Wendy - Our Executive Director

By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis. Did you know? Your spayed female pet won't go into heat. While cycles can vary, female cats usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. Get those cats fixed!

We thank you all for YOUR part in donating time, money and needed supplies, sharing our FB posts,

and attending our fundraisers.

We are BETTER TOGETHER!

We are SO very grateful for your support this past year--Click here for the 2022 Statistics Recap Video:

Kelly Thorpe has been on staff at Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic for 9 years. She is a veterinarian technician assistant and daily does a variety of tasks: welcoming our clients into the lobby and lining them up, doing client check in, then heading back to surgery where she monitors patients under anesthesia.

Kelly really loves it here because our staff is a lot of fun to work with, and always educates our clients so they can take great care of their pets. She is thankful for donors who give to our clinic so we can provide low-cost spays and neuters to people who may not normally seek out vet care for their pets. In her free time Kelly likes to travel, enjoy brunch with friends, and spend time with her daughter Jordan and sweet dog Sawyer.

Would you like to make an

in-kind donation this month?

We are grateful this past month for friends like Tracy bringing in jugs of bleach, Jean bringing in 2 reams of paper, 2 people shipping us each a BOX of a paper, for Judy bringing in the JUMBO packages of toilets paper and paper towels, for Jessica dropping off some cute dog coats and jackets, for Peggy going to Wexford Labs and bringing us 25 BOXES of free wipes, and we are thankful for others of you we didn't get pictures of... WE APPRECIATE EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!

So please, the next time you go to the store, grab just ONE extra roll of Paper Towels, Toilet Paper,

Liquid laundry detergent, Bleach,

White copy paper, or 13-gallon trash bags.

If everyone coming into our clinic brought just ONE item, we’d NEVER have to spend a donation dime on these daily supplies ever again! And keeping our surgery costs low helps more families afford to spay and neuter their pets... which keeps the pet population low… so who would have EVER thought that a bottle of laundry detergent could DO SO MUCH!?! (Or a roll of toilet paper for that matter!)

We are BETTER TOGETHER! www.CarolHousePetClinic.org

A Rolla Review

We are just so proud to announce we have EXPANDED our clinic to a second site: Rolla!

We have been working in this rural area for a few years and it just seemed the right time to open a "Satellite Clinic" there. It opened on August 24, 2022 for wellness services and began spays/neuters October 18, 2022. There are 5 staff members, and we will have our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony there on March 24th at 10:30 am. Join us and see the new clinic (and meet Carl-the Clinic Cat!) located at

13651 S. US Highway 63, Rolla, MO 65401
