Kitty Garcia, Shadow, and Taz round out June

Wow!  June sure was a busy month for us!  We spayed and neutered 460 animals.  We had one day where we spayed and neutered 57 animals.  In one day!

On June 23, we helped the Garcia family get their mama kitty and her kittens fixed.  They called to say they had to get the mama fixed because they didn't want any more babies.  We found out that they had two kittens at home, as well.  They were apprehensive about getting the kittens fixed with the mama because of the cost.  We offered them a Spay it Forward for one of their kittens and they brought in all three!  Success!

The babies were still so young when they came in that the family hadn't even givem them proper names, yet!  So, we gave the Spay it Forward to Kitty #1 Garcia and we also fixed the mama and Kitty #2 Garcia!  Thanks to Mary Robertson for making this spay possible!

On June 26th, we were able to help a man and his two dogs, Shadow and Taz.  He has applied for disability, but has not yet been approved.  So, he has no income and has been getting help from his friends.  Unfortunately, we were unable to get pictures of Taz and Shadow that day as we were SO busy.  But we can tell you that they were just the sweetest little dogs!

We provided two Spay it Forwards to cover the surgeries for Shadow and Taz and their owner took care of their vaccinations.  Like his pets, he was such a nice man that was so very thankful for the help he received.  He even asked if he could come in and get a Spay it Forward for someone else once his disability was approved!  What a neat family those three were!  A very special thanks is in order to Kelly Sanders for making those two surgeries possible.

Tuesday, May 15th SIFs

Well, last Tuesday was a busy day and we're behind on blogging about it!

Whenever someone calls to schedule an appointment for their pet, we always ask if all the other pets in the household are fixed.  If not, we do our best to get everyone scheduled.  Last week, we happened to talk to a few people that had multiple unaltered animals but could only afford to get one done.  There is always the fear that they won't come back with the other pet later, so we try to do whatever we can to get both animals in the door.  On Tuesday, we used Spay it Forwards to provide a "buy one get one" special for three lucky pets and their owners.  Each one of these pups below came in with another pup from the same household.

But that's not all we did on Tuesday!  When we say it was a busy day, we aren't kidding around!  We also had the opportunity to visit with some very special kitties.

Simba and his owner were living on very little income when his owner's grandmother had to come and live with them.  She knew she needed to get Simba neutered.  She called and talked to us about getting him scheduled and asked about pricing.  Because of her special circumstances, we awarded her with a Spay it Forward to get Simba fixed.

And last, but definitely NOT least, is little Kowi.  Kowi's owner is homeless, but she couldn't leave Kowi behind.  She took Kowi under her wing and promptly contacted us to see how we could help.  We were very touched by the compassion that she had and very impressed with her sense of urgency in getting Kowi fixed.  We happily awarded her a Spay it Forward for baby Kowi.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our special SPOT Clinic visitors.  We are very proud of what we do here and every day we meet people who love their animals and just want to do the right thing.  To those who donate Spay it Forwards and support SPOT Clinic in other ways, thank you for helping make that possible.
