The Wisconsin Humane Society invites cat guardians to celebrate Spay
Day USA by having their cat spayed or neutered on February 27. Spay
Day USA is a national day of action to reduce animal overpopulation
and thus, prevent animal suffering. Spaying or neutering your cat
also produces beneficial side effects for your pal, such as lowering
the risk for developing certain cancers.
Last year, WHS spayed over one hundred cats in an impressive effort,
and this year, WHS hopes to reach the goal of spaying or neutering
another one hundred cats. WHS veterinarians, volunteer veterinarians
and WHS vet technicians work as a team to attend to each cat's needs.
Owners will be charged veterinary fees on a sliding scale ranging
from $10 and up, based on family income, size and other factors.
In addition to Spay Day, the Wisconsin Humane Society also offers the
Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), which is the perfect solution
for individuals who understand the benefit of spaying or neutering
their cat or dog but cannot afford to do so. WHS vets perform the
surgery and charge fees based upon a sliding scale, which is geared
toward people with low incomes. Last year the SNAP program treated
about 250 dogs and cats.
To register your cat for Spay Day, please call (414) 431-6132. For
information about the SNAP program, call (414) ANIMALS. Information
