Cat's Meow Special: July 7-11

SPCA of Texas offers discounted spay/neuter surgeries for felines.

By Alicia Brown, SPCA of Texas

The SPCA of Texas continues its ongoing campaign to stop pet overpopulation by offering spay/neuter services for cats at discounted prices the week of July 7-11 at the Perry Spay/Neuter Clinic in McKinney and July 8-11 at the Martin Spay/Neuter Clinic at Village Fair in Dallas. The spay/neuter special offers $20 spay and neuter surgeries for male and female cats by appointment only.

As always, proof of vaccinations is required: For cats, rabies & FVRCP. Should your pet need vaccinations, each vaccine is $17; rabies and combination vaccines for cats (Rhinotracheitis-Calici-Panleukopenia).

If left intact, a companion animal can produce an unlimited number of offspring in his or her lifetime. Sadly, American shelters euthanize more than five million homeless dogs and cats every year, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $1 billion annually. Spaying and neutering lessens the chances of a pet developing cancer, reduces roaming tendencies and decreases the pet’s urge to mark its territory.
