Charleston Animal Society: free spay/neuters for cats!
February 29, 2016
Charleston Animal Society offered free spays and neuters for cats in Charleston County on Saturday. More than 140 cats were scheduled for surgery in the first “Spay-Neuter Blitz” of 2016. “This effort will help save countless lives, by preventing hundreds of unborn kittens from becoming homeless,” said Charleston Animal Society Senior Director of Veterinary Care Dr. Lucy Fuller. If you assume the average cat has six kittens, this one event will help prevent up to 840 kittens from becoming homeless.
Cat owners save hundreds of dollars on the procedures while helping to reduce the cat overpopulation in the Lowcountry. Cat owners registered by using the Spay/Neuter Blitz Hotline, which will reopen for another Blitz in March.
Last year Charleston Animal Society cared for 20,000 animals. Spaying and neutering is the only 100% proven way to reduce these numbers and save animals’ lives. Help stem the tide of overpopulation by having your pet spayed or neutered. “Charleston Animal Society is committed to ending companion animal overpopulation by providing high quality, high volume, spay and neuter services,” said Fuller. Charleston Animal Society is the only Animal Shelter in the Southeast to receive the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Accreditation, insuring that the highest standards of veterinary medicine are used.
