Veterinarios Internacionales Dedicados a Animales Sanos
International Veterinarians
Dedicated to Animal Health
VIDAS (Spanish for LIVES), is a non-profit organization made up of veterinarians, veterinary students and other animal lovers dedicated to improving the lives of animals and people through veterinary medicine and education.
VIDAS sets up free clinics in some of the fastest growing and poorest areas in the world. Our goal is prevention of animal suffering due to starvation, disease, and other health problems associated with pet overpopulation, recognizing also that overpopulation of animals also contributes directly to human disease. Our focus is safe sterilization, vaccination and parasite control for the animals and education for the people about safe animal handling, zoonotic disease and general animal husbandry and health care.
VIDAS is an incorporated non profit entity in Colorado and has IRS 501(c)(3) status.
Please email us at info@vidas.org if you would like more information about our organization.

| Special Thanks |

VIDAS is grateful to the estate of the late Barrett H. Willson for providing a very generous donation. Mr. Willson, of San Francisco, California, was an animal lover and his bequests will provide help to many deserving animal interests. This donation will greatly assist our organization in continuing to provide quality veterinary care to the animals of the Yucatan Peninsula.
A SPECIAL NEED: A volunteer at the Playa del Carmen animal shelter has been trying to find homes for foster kittens that occasionally overrun her apartment. If you know someone who can provide a foster or permanent home for these kittens, please contact us at robinmic@lamar.colostate.eduand we will forward the information along.
