Praise to Barbara Johnson for encouraging people to spay/neuter. There are always more animals born than homes for them that can be found.
If there are feral cats in your neighborhood, I encourage you to contact the Feral Cat Coalition (619) 758-9194. Although they do not do family pets, they will spay and neuter, treat wounds and fleas, and give rabies shots to abandoned and feral cats. There is no cost to the caretakers of these cats but donations are always welcome.
Thankfully, shelter pets are spayed/neutered before adoption. It is in the interest of the community to prevent the proliferation of unwanted animals.
My experience is that shelter pets can make wonderful companions.
I belong to SSNAAPE, a local non-profit 501(c)(3) group. We will be holding a low cost spay/neuter clinic for cats and dogs at Creature Comforts on Sunday, Dec. 13. Marlene at (760) 451-8961 has general information about costs and appointments, and can answer specific questions.
Wherever you choose to go for spay/neuter services, I implore you to be responsible about not producing innocent creatures whose futures may be cut short by the ugliness of euthanasia. Thank you.
