Community Veterinary Clinic Marks World Spay Day with 49 Spays and Neuters!
World Spay Day is an important day in the animal world. Observed internationally on the last Tuesday of February, it spotlights spaying and neutering as a humane way to reduce the number of unwanted litters and ultimately, to prevent suffering for animals who might otherwise end up on the streets or in overcrowded shelters. Community Veterinary Clinic marked World Spay Day on February 24 by providing discounted spay and neuter surgeries for 49 free-roaming cats!
Community Veterinary Clinic’s mission is to provide affordable veterinary care, and on this special day generous donors allowed Community Veterinary Clinic to double its daily spay/ neuter capacity! In addition to discounted spay/neuter services, cats were also provided with free vaccinations supported by a generous cat lover, as well as free parasite prevention sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.
“Sterilization is one of the most effective and humane ways to improve animal welfare, reduce overpopulation, and help free-roaming cats live healthier lives,” says Dr. Kayla Beetham, who singlehandedly performed all the day’s surgeries. “By taking action ahead of spring kitten season, our team prevented hundreds of kittens from being born on the streets of Windsor and Essex County.”
While World Spay Day may be over, there is still time to prevent unwanted litters before spring kitten season. Community Veterinary Clinic offers cat spay surgeries year-round for $150, and cat neuter surgeries for $100. Visit https://communityvet.ca/spay-neuter/ to request an appointment today.
