ORGANIZATIONS TEAM UP FOR A "SUPER SATURDAY" SPAY CLINIC Cats Anonymous & Wish Upon A Paw Press Release
CATS ANONYMOUS AND WISH UPON A PAW HOST SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS Ask any animal welfare advocate what they think feral cats want most for a Mother’s Day gift, and they’ll tell you it’s to not have to become mothers ever again! Wish Upon a Paw and Cats Anonymous, two area organizations with programs for spaying/neutering feral cats, have high-volume clinics planned for Saturday, May 4th to make that happen for 150 lucky cats. Wish Upon a Paw is scheduling 60 cats to be spayed or neutered with help from veterinarians at the Globe University campus in Appleton. Cats Anonymous is targeting 90 cats, and hosts the effort at Oak View Veterinary Hospital in Green Bay.
“The statistics are staggering – one way of illustrating the problem is the estimate that for every one human birth there are 45 kittens born, ” says Natalie Nelson, Co-Director at Wish Upon A Paw, “it’s very easy to see why any female cat outdoors who is not spayed is going to produce more kittens than people can realistically deal with.” Feral cats are members of the domestic cat species, but they have not been raised as pets. TrapNeuter-Return programs humanely trap and bring them to a veterinarian to be evaluated, spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Cats that have undergone the procedure are eartipped—while under anesthesia, a small portion of the left ear is painlessly removed for identification.
