We Love Fixin' Kitties!

It's true, we love spaying and neutering those kitties.  There are so many out there and they reproduce so quickly.  And if you read our newsletter, you know we encourage everyone to have the kittens fixed if they end up with an oops litter BEFORE they adopt them out.  The responsibility has to start somewhere and we simply cannot trust that someone else will do it.

Well, that's just what happened with Mama and her four babies.  Her owner called us and told us about how she ended up with an oops litter and she needed to get her fixed so it didn't happen again.  We offered to use a Spay it Forward on Mama IF the owner would bring in the babies and get them done at the same time.  So, on August 29, 2012, we fixed Mama and her litter of four.

Thank you, Sonja Sherwood, for providing a Spay it Forward that helped get FIVE animals fixed!  We can absolutely call this one a success!

On September 11, 2012, we were able to neuter Max with a Spay it Forward for his family.  Unlike many people out there, his owners understand that cats are just as important as dogs and need the same kind of care.  They are loving pets, too.  When they called and asked for assistance, we were more than happy to get Max in here and get him neutered AND up to date on his vaccinations.  We would love to share his handsome face with you, but that squirmy bugger just wouldn't let that happen!  But please know that we were so happy to get him in here and get him all "fixed" up.

Rosalind Cook is the special person that made Max's neuter possible.  She donated this Spay it Forward in honor of Lea Rawlings.

Mylo's story has a sad beginning but a happy ending, with a twist!  His owner called us initially to just get some advice.  You see, this little orange tabby had been dumped on her and she didn't know what to do.  She really didn't want to just take this baby to the shelter, but she was unsure of what it would take to give him a good home.

Our vet tech, Tracy, talked to her about this kitty.  Mylo had just shown up one day and she didn't know how to take care of him.  Tracy offered the owner some information on being a good cat owner, then offered a Spay it Forward to get Mylo neutered.  She was very grateful and accepted the next available appointment, on September 22, 2012.

The twist is that when the owner came to pick up her kitty, Mylo was really Myla!  And the happy ending is that this baby is SPAYED and vaccinated and is now ready to be a happy pet.

Geni Singhisen is responsible for the Spay it Forward that kept little Myla out of the shelter and in a loving home!  Thank you to our donors for caring so much for these animals that you never even get to meet!
