BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation announced recently that it has invested in SpayVac, an animal sterilization technology company.

“Issues with feral animals have reached crisis level in parts of the world and also within the United States, and SpayVac is here to help those groups struggling to get a handle on the problem,” SpayVac CEO Tom D’Orazio said in a statement.

According to a release, the company’s revolutionary drug release technology allows for the successful sterilization of animals with only a single injection.

SpayVac, with offices in Madison and Victoria, British Columbia, hopes to expand from the feral market to companion animals, eventually eliminating the need for surgical procedures for household pets.
