Our story
History
How a small group started a veterinary hospital on an island with no vet services — and why government culls haven't happened since.

Our mission
Four goals. Every day. Since 2001.
PACS exists to reduce animal suffering on Koh Phangan through a four-part commitment: vaccinate, neuter, heal, and educate. Everything we do flows from these four goals.
Neuter
Humane population control through sterilisation. Around 30 procedures a month, keeping numbers manageable without the cruelty of culling.
5,802 animals neutered to date
Heal
Free hospital treatment for sick and injured stray animals: wounds, road traffic accidents, skin conditions, infections, broken bones, and more.
22,451 examinations since 2001

PACS is a hospital, not a shelter.
Only sick or injured stray animals are admitted. Healthy puppies, kittens, and adult animals cannot be dropped off — we have no boarding capacity, and over-handling stresses the in-patients in recovery. If you've found an animal that needs help, use the guide below first.
